Ahh, you must have owned a Mustang..
Anyway your right, not the best tranny, but with some of the aftermarket companies I dealt with, I had a built B&M tranny, and an Art Carr built tranny.. neither failed, but I wanted one with a better first gear.
There was one major advantage to the 700r4 and the reason I chose it was the Overdrive, I was able to run 3.73 gears and still had decent highway RPM..
HOWEVER, unless his car is deep into the low 12's I doubt he'll be able to keep up off the line anyway..

My A4 '95 Z28 ran 12.7@108 like clockwork. I sold it to a friend and with 50k on the clock, it fried the torque converter and took the 4L60E out with it.
Of course, the car did have over 50 passes on it cutting 1.8 60's.
