I just switched to a glide.Car weighs 3,400 with me.In killer air with 160 lb. In trunk it would run 10.07.With the ballast removed and the glide in it went 9.83 with killer air and a slight tailwind.Now the glide also has a brake where the old setup was footbraked with a 2 step.
I think with as much power you have,a glide would be a way better, more manageable choice.Sure, you may lose a couple hun in 60 but you'll pick that up because the glide is lighter and robs less power imo.
