Default Help me decide which trans to use...

I'm hoping to finish my 84 Regal soon. I'd like to hear some opinions on which transmission to use. The car will be a toy I take to the track about once per month. I might even try my hand at bracket racing. I want to go as fast as possible, but be reliable. The choices will be a Turbo 400 or a Powerglide w/ stk 1.76 planetaries. The trans will be built with good cluthes and a transbrake. I have a BTE 8" C100+ converter that will be used, should stall around 5500 RPM.

I'll list as much info on the car and engine as I can. If you need more, I'll try to answer.
