powerglide gear sets
I am slowly putting together a 69 camaro SS JA (255/350), I have a powerglide with a1-80 straight cut gear set from my super gas project, would it be worth the trouble to switch to a 1-98 gear set, the car will race primarily in the Can Am stock superstock series up here, not looking to set any world records!

Re: powerglide gear sets
1.98 seems to work quite well

Leave the 1.80 for now. It'll last a lot longer. You can always switch it down the road if you want.

Re: powerglide gear sets
Like Jody said, start with the 1.80 and get your program together and then look to make it better. We have a 1.87, 1.90, 1.94, 1.98, 2.08, and a 2.18 - the higher the number, the weaker they get as the important gears have to get physically smaller. We have a lot of customers that run a 1.98 - in an average of a 10 second car at 3200-3400 lbs and they last anywhere from 300 to 500 passes. Many variables to consider for life though.
