I have been told by two trans shops that a power glide would be two tenth slower than a 904 trans in a 9sec 3000lb car. what have you guys seen in real life.

Here is something you might want to try! A friend of mine a few years ago that bought my 1st dragster,less center section & most other parts(I put them on my new dragster and give him a great deal).Had a turbo 350 built trans & converter out of his door car(chevy)he used both of them behind his BBC and only used 1st & 2nd gear with a 3.55 rear gear ratio with was = to running a glide with either a 4.56 or 4.10 rear gear I can't remember which.And it worked great,at least its something you might want to look into.Do your math to pick the right rear gear ratio and if nothing else you can find out if a Glide will help your car or not. PS Try it you might like it!

I agree, it seems like most small blocks don't make the torque to carry through a glide.

Mine runs very consistent with a 727. It runs dead on or very close every time but my problem is I can not keep from red lighting, .480-490 lights. 80% of the time.

Brother don't listen to that crap...and if it were true it would be a proflite.The reason trans guy's say that is because there bench would be empty except for freshen ups.
Heavy or light once your geared right they are good.The ATI bell i ised required zero shims w a sb mini mopar starter and you get converters cheaper to.JMO
but I don't recall having ever seen a two speed behind any small block in any heads up n/a class.. power adder stuff would be different. Im going to a powerslide in my car as well looking for more consistenty. 
I would love to tell ya times but i cant
Andy Harris aka Flex has on in his na sb stang.
Dean Marinis has a whale (Heavy)of a 68 camaro na and if anyone here like one bad fish will attest It is a freakin beast.
So one is a sb and is super fast
And one is a heavy BB that revs 9000+like nothing The Glides work.

Don't dismiss it as "crap" I got it from a very respected SBM racer here. I won't name drop but the guy has been very fast on 10.5's and looking at the new bullet is about to go faster. I got my 904 from a buddy who went to a glide, I asked a while later how the motor liked the glide (883hp W8 mill) he just asked if I wanted to sell the 904 lol
