I'm building a turbo'd 4-cylinder for our '71 Yenko Vega (street/strip), and would like an auto with overdrive, and the 200-4R seems like a natural fit...I'm looking at *hopefully* 500hp with the boost turned up, and the car should be 2800 pounds or less...what's it gonna take to get a 200-4R tranny/converter to hold up? Any advice??
200-4R = how much power??

More than your going to make with that 4 popper. Just need to stick some of the good hard parts into it and a real convertor and it should be happy for years. I have only worked with CK trans. Chris is a good guy and can make it right for you. :biggrin:
thanks for recommending us.in that car our 1649.00 stage 1 will be fine .the converter stall will depend on engine operating rpm.we also sell the parts and a manual if you want to build it yourself.the engine will love the reduced recipricating weight of the 2004r.give me a ring if you need further assistance.

Ck can build you an awesome trans. 
Wow, quick replies...thanks! I don't know the exact power range right now, but will have an idea before too long, hopefully...I plan on giving this "Drag Week" thing a shot. I won't win it, but hope to make a decent showing, with an original Yenko car, something most folks don't see too often. I originally thought 4L60E, but lightweight and simplicity of the 200 won me over...only thing I'm worried about is getting the tv setup correctly...
Stupid question for ya: what bellhousing does the 200-4R? is it the normal Chevy piece?? I need to get an adapter squared away...

Sorry, another goofy question...this is my first serious turbo car...so will I need a trans brake to spool up the turbo, or just footbrake it? Any pros/cons to either?? The car was originally a 4-speed, but I think an auto will work better with the turbo at the track...
