I would really try and make it to many races if I knew that my trans (the most expensive part I'd break) would hold up. I could sell my built 200r4 and my converter and buy a built 350 that will last me all year (theoretically) and not have to worry about dropping 6-9k on a trans each season.
Man if you know somebody who dropped 6-9k on 200s running THS in a season I need to know that story. I will take even farther if they have done that in the three years THS has been around I want to know. If someone can prove that to me I have a deal they cannot turn down.
I have seen where you have mentioned you have a stage 2 tranny from Lonnie and that is about a $ 1900 trans. He charges $350 for a freshen up how could you get to 6-9 K in a years. You could carry a spare and have them both freshened during the year and still not be there.
