I was leaning toward the 727 because I have heard its stronger. I
plan to make 600-800hp eventually, and my truck is 4200lbs, so I want
a tranny that will hold together. If the 904 can be built to take
that abuse in a cost effective manner and go faster, then I'd probably
lean toward it... What do you think caused the .3 sec drop for those
guys? Can't just be the lighter weight...
