Bob, I run a glide as well and my car is close to that in weight. I run a 1.98 first gear and a 4.10 rear gear. Car runs 6.60's on drag radials N/A with a pump gas stroker smallblock. Runs low 1.4 60's on motor and runs 5.80's on nitrous with low 1.3 60's. I think you will actually go faster with the glide as long as the converter is right.
