I'm hoping to finish my 84 Regal soon. I'd like to hear some opinions on which transmission to use. The car will be a toy I take to the track about once per month. I might even try my hand at bracket racing. I want to go as fast as possible, but be reliable. The choices will be a Turbo 400 or a Powerglide w/ stk 1.76 planetaries. The trans will be built with good cluthes and a transbrake. I have a BTE 8" C100+ converter that will be used, should stall around 5500 RPM.
I'll list as much info on the car and engine as I can. If you need more, I'll try to answer.
