There were or are Co's that made a 1st & 2nd gear swap for the 700 that were the same gear ratios as the 200 ,,,( I wonder why?,,,could it be a better gear choice/ratio/gear spacing ? )
There are also Co's that make the same gear swaps for the TH350 & TH400,1st & 2nd gears,,,guess what those gear ratios are,,,,you guessed it ,,about the same as the 2004R,,,see a pattern here?
Also, a A/R of of 1.10 in a 292 will run like a pig ( depending on trim wheel also )At low RPMS,,,,Unless you are looking to get some boost pressure after 3500-4000 RPM,then thats a good choice of A/R..
Running a low first gear ratio will not put as much load on a your engine & will not get the turbo to spool up faster,actually just the opposite.
