Hook it up if you know of any local. Trying to see if I can grab a decent used unit before I dish the coin on a new one. :bigtup: ---

I’m not terribly familiar with glides… so how many passes you think something like that lives with a brake before I need to build it anyhow? ---

That depends on the torque behind it and how cool you keep the fluid. Other than that it’s hard to tell. ---

Comp trans is an excellent company to deal with. They are always at the track, and they have a real fast turnaround. I’m pretty sure you get 1 free re-stall if needed. ---

I will also vouch for comp trans. The tranny they built for me is now running 4.90’s. They stood behind their converter too when it was too loose. Try definitely aren’t cheap though. ---

Comp Trans for life! (15 yrs) Does it right or he won’t do it. 1 free adjustment on converter, usually nails it the first time. ---

Built Glides are the best , most relieable option for old muscle on the street if were talking 750,1000+ wheel IMO. With OD u can casually cruise and whatnot. Ive been in 1200 wheel 8 sec cars and it was awesome. ---

I should still be able to cruise with it since I am running a 3.25 gear and 28" tire. 70mph = about 2700rpm which I can deal with in an ls based motor. A 3.50 would have probably been a better track gear but I went 3.25 so I could still cruise at highway speeds no problem. Also… I drove to cuse over the weekend and picked up a nice glide with a brake. I went with a turbo 400 style converter so I ordered a new input shaft for the higher spline count as well. It is tight so I am looknig at a stall around 3400. I will have it restalled higher if it is a dog out of the hole which it might be unless I can get it to launch in boost and stay in boost. We will certainly find out. ---

Good choice. I run a 3.08 rear gear with a 28" tall tire. Cruising at 65 is awesome. ---
