Hmm, could prove challenging keeping a engine made to run at 10,000 rpms with a 3.6x stroke in it's powerband with a glide in a heavy car. Shift recovery with a 2 speed and a high winder like this could really be a problem. I agree with Leon that in a high rpm, short stroke n/a engine in a heavy car the glide isn't the right choice.

The engine should make 750-800 ft lbs of torque max. Pettywitt's Chevelle has made the fastest a/m lap at Milan and it's a 632" beast that makes way more torque and it gets down the track most times with a t-400 trans. The car that won the class the last two years was a 655" engine with a 3 speed. If they can get down the track then I see no reason why your Hemi 99 couldn't.

Either way I wish the best for you Bob and can't wait to see it go.
