I know this won't be very popular but I am considering changing over to a Powerglide. I would like to hear from guys whom had made the switch and what their results were. My car is 3700lbs and runs low nines. I have some Chrysler buddies that also bracket race that have made the switch with positive results. However, their cars are a lot lighter than mine. I think that the car will lose some time due to the taller first gear. I also know that the glide will be more consistent. How much time do you think is on the table? Comments?


I believe my car is a similar combo to yours except its a cross ram w/ eddy 750s. Your car is both heavier and faster than mine (9.27@146.6, 3340). Why a glide? Mine doesn't spin at all. 10.5x31W ,4.10 If anything I think I could use more gear. My overall starting line ratio is 10.45. 1.80 glide w/4.56 would be 8.23. I think it would slow it up early. Mine ave 1.32-1.36 60 3.80-3.85 330. Pretty sluggish in the early portion of the run. However its a good bracket car and easy on the motor in the lights.
