Which GM trans?

Assuming this is for drag racing, a turbo 400 is the best choice at this weight and horspower. You could use a glide if you spend the bucks for a well built one....Probably be $2,500.00 to $3,500 for a glide that will be dependable at this power/weight level. The 400 is much beefier and the extra gear will help get the car moving easier off the line (2.48 vs.1.76). You will spend some decent bucks on a good 400 but it will be half of what a glide costs.

Amen I agree heavyier than 3000# go with the 400.
