Todd the man levers are long gone!!!! All thats left are the 4 speed auto's that you guys use a clutch to leave the line with. So easy even a cave man could use one. Sorry couldn't resist. Barry

GM applications only.

Is it GM only? What about the PG which Ford called a "C2" in CJs? What about whatever Chrysler called the PG that came in the V10 Challenger? I don't see anything in the rulebook disallowing them.

I went back to a glide from a metric.Just wanted to make the car easier for my daughter to drive.In our 12 second car the glide slowed the car up around 12 hundreds.But it's deadly consistent.. Good luck, joe Mocci

I went from PG to Turbo 350 last summer in the Corvette. 60' picked up .09 and carried it to the finish line in warm weather. In the cooler weather, the ETs are about identical, even though the 60' is a lot better. I suspect the engine combination didn't like the RPM drop at the shift in the warmer weather when the power is down. Oddly enough, the car seems to be even more consistent with the Turbo 350, which surprised me as the car practically xeroxed time slips with the PG. Reaction time picked up about .03, which was the main reason for the swap. All this is with a 3200 lb car with a 650 hp iron headed 427 with the same converter. The Turbo 350 was built by a local builder with good parts, but it is no Pro Trans.

I will say that it is way more fun to drive with the Turbo 350. Went from barely lifting the tires off the ground to going on the bumper. Had to put the wheelie bars back on!

At least we don't get that ****ty red fluid on us :D

Lyn, it's usually .17 if you convert to a good 200. Looks lime Terry Nagel picked up .20 from last year at the same race, but air looked to be a little better in Gainsville this year over last year.

Philbilly, if you use the same converter from glide to 200 you probably won't pick up as much as you could. I think the 200 will like a looser converter.

Yeah gotta use a high dollar three speed or it ain't any faster.
I don't know bout all this talk with man levers and fun, sounds a little ghey. LOL

No one has mentioned the converter. What I have seen happen when doing the 2 speed to 3 speed conversion is the converter, that was scienced out for the 2 speed, tightens up quite a lot for the 3 speed. Unless you change converter that puts the stall speed at the very same RPM as the 2 speed then that is not a valid A-B test from 2 speed to 3 speed. You left the converter stall change in the test. That usually leaves a few hundredths on the table. the stall change is due to the load, or less load the converter sees with the lower low gear of the 3 speed. That is why some guys say their 60's didn't pick up with the lower first gear. It is all about the combination of the converter and the low gear ratio if you want to go fast..
