I thought mabey he didn't know what he was talking about so i called a performance transmission shop in arizona that was in one of my car craft magazines and he said the same thing. So i guess i'll take it out and have larry make it a little bit more streetable, but still strong enough for occasional track use...

"Built" Turbo 400 is a play on words.....Yes, the parts are stronger. But the tolerances in a "Race" transmission don't allow for street use. Never, ever doubt Larry Wilson. He's been building transmission for my family since the 70's.......He'll take care of you.
