I am unaware of a criteria for running a glide..It is just a choice you are presented with. Bruno, Lenco, Jeffco, Liberty, Jericho, TH400, TH200, Glide whatever...Pick what you can afford and what will work best for your combo.

I would try a 3.23 gear and the 727 for the street. You can get a nice launch at the track and have a high enough final drive to enjoy it on the street. Either case you will probably want a loose converter, (especially the glide) and loose converters aren't that fun on the street in my opinion.
