TH200-4R > AWESOME!!!
Finally got everything working right and I'm truly amazed at it. Nothing like cruising down the highway at 2200rpm. 
I will say it does take some getting used to, because I went to a 2200rpm stall TC and the trans is built up for whatever future engine I decide to drop in so it shifts pretty firm.
Next up: fixing the coolant leak and opening up the exhaust

I'm guessing 2200rpm is around 80mph. According to BTO's speedo calculator, that's about what I shoud be running for 3.08 gears.
