After reading the Powerglide converter thread, I figured I would throw this out there since a lot of you are running Glides. Anyone running a Powerglide in a car that's around 3500lbs on small tires? If so, what's the combination? Mine is a 528ci on nitrous. I'm concerned it will fall on it's face in high gear being so heavy. My thought is to go with around a 1.68 low gear and 4.30 out back. I know converter is going to be a big factor in getting the car to work, especially on the surfaces I run on.
Need some more details (unless you're a grudge runner)
Is this a brand new build/setup? If not new, what has been its best perf on a motor pass, and on a nitrous pass?
Do you know exactly how much HP & TQ your 528 is making on motor alone?
Is the 528 specifically built for nitrous, or mainly N/A with some nitrous setup and just tickling it with a "middle of the road" nitrous hit?
Plate or Fogger, and how much you smashing it with?
Progressive controller?
Which small tire (slick or drag radial specifics) and suspension/shocks setup?
Are you talking 3500 in the seat at the tree/hand-drop, or 3500+whatever your driver weight is at the tree/hand-drop?
Let us know.......
However, with just ball-parking it I'd go with Tony's above advice.
