we have a 2800 lbs car roughly 825hp,i have a 50/50 reaction on what trans to use for racing.some say just put a 727 in it and hope for the best,others say i need a glide with an aluminum case which wont fit in an abody without cutting tunnel.next thing is who builds glides in the delaware valley area.

Silly stuff..
No cutting, and a Bruno or CSR shield will work fine..
My B1 3000# Barracuda runs 8.80's @ 152+ 3500' DA bad air here in Phoenix with a 9" converter and a 4.10 gear..
But it will go red on a .400 tree also with a soft converter..
Never broke a stock glide input or gear set.
Did break a 1.96 TCI gear set once..
You probably shouldn't listen to die hard "gotta run all Mopar" guys..
They'll give you a headache..
Chris..

James, I have had great success getting consistency out of my TF, and if a guy is struggling in the 60 ft he can always take some gear out of it. I do have to admit that I use an airshifter, so having that being part of my success with consistency both of your points are valid to some degree. 440JIM has been killer with a torqueflite, and done very well with it.
