Default Re: P glide to to 3 speed switch.How much is it worth???

stocker at 530hp - 1968 Camao F/CM weight (3005).

best of 10.44, average fast runs at 10.48-50 with the glide
best of 10.53 average fast runs 58-61 with the 3 speed

the 3 speed had quicker 60fts. 1.32-35 vs. 1.37-38
the glide had better 330's on through to the end

i believe it was becasue the 3sp had the front end higher and the car was bouncing upon coming down. i have tried Caltracs front shocks and their new harder retract shocks. i have installed new Santauff front shocks to try this season and will be coming out with the 3 speed to see if we can stop the rears from hazing during the bounce (i do have to steer when the car comes down with the 3sp.)

2 speed was always 2-3 mph quicker to the quarter.

3 speed is ALWAYS more fun!
