Some say a t-brake will improve 60' others same not much difference . My engine was originally built for a car with a four speed . I`m running a 'Glide with a 4600 stall converter. I think I`ll pick up with my combination with the brake leaving at higher RPM. No ?
Opinions VERY Welcome !

My thoughts exactly. Was the converter built for the application or purchased second hand? Is that actual stall speed as tested? Converter is 90% of making a glide work.

It's right around 5500. Mine should be a little higher but my sixty is a little less than it should be too.

You need to have the flash about 100 rpm OVER the peak tq and this is especially true with a glide (taller 1st gear). Loosen that thing up some!
