I wonder if a 727/Proflite can handle near 1300HP? How would it perform against a 2.10 first T400? What would the difference be in cost? Assuming you'd bellhousing the 727 for a larger converter?
HP is not the killer torque seems to be from what I have seen. Think TS type stuff with large engines with lots of strokes that are making 4 digit TQ numbers... They are in a LOT of comp cars making good HP from many sources. A1, Joels, Mcclay, ProTrans etc
