I thought about that. Shoot, I'm a dealer for gearvendor. But like ALL buick people, I'm weird in my own special way.
Warren, LC went 9.4's 10+ years ago w/200. (had to freshen it often between the broken input shafts
)I'm just trying to get any opinion of someone who is running a 200 behind a Stage II with good success.

Power ?
Don't know if I would recommend doing this but I have a 2004R Built up to but not including the billet pieces. 10-0'S @ 140 MPH. 28 passes so far. I did weld the end of the forward drum shaft. Lonnie Dyers and I are waiting to see how far it will go. I know Lonnie and others have some running in the high 9'S. According to the power formula I am around 750 HP. I don't see me pushing it much faster so I plan on staying with the 200. Probably install some billet pieces this winter.

I am with Lee on the non billet parts build up. Trans must be a non lock up IMO.
We have one running that has been welded, and has run low 10`s, high nines and 140ish mph for many years without breakage. Probably not the smartest thing to be doing...but it works. Art Carr 9in converter, with a Stage motor.
I would keep things in the bottom tens to high nines.
Or, go for the gusto, and show us all how to get `er done!!!
Good luck,
Brian Hofer

actually
I just installed an AC N/L this past week. All my run up untill now were with a Precision Industries Multi Disc L/U. That is what puzzled Lonnie that I was not breaking some parts on L/U @ 6000 in 3rd.
