Electronic Transmission Control

[C. Brooks]

I keep hearing/seeing people say that and I can't help but wonder. Have
these people ever seen a dyno run with a turbo motor, be it a Buick 3.8 or a
TT small block Chevy?

I've seen several and unless the motors were race only, they made very large
amounts of torque from the git go (Especially the TT V8's). I know of a
TType here locally (D.C. Metro area) that makes 400Ft/Lb's at 2000 RPM. I've
seen the dyno sheet and I've driven the car. I KNOW there are a few GN
owners on this list, maybe one of you guys could to step in here and give us
some more info on turbo 6's and 2004R's?

Mike Kurtz at PMAC performance in Houston Texas would be an EXCELLENT person
to discuss the 700R4 and 2004R with. He'll go over the pro's and con's of
each transmission with you and spend as much time o the telephone as you
need. PMAC's contact info is on the gnttype page.
