My feeling is that at 2450lbs, you would need a lot of power to run fast with a glide... I'd be looking at 3spd auto, or a much lighter car... if you go through the pits and check out the body cars running automatic transmissions, you won't many, if any, glides... not to say that you can't do it... some of the big power dragsters in Comp may still run a glide in an effort to control the car on the launch, but most of them are also running a 3 spd now...

When you get to that point, give Select a call... Ed Sr and Ed Jr will give you solid advice...
