What kind of 3 speed were you running? Unfortunately if you dont have a Pro Trans or a very good Metric you will see no performance gain in any T350 or 400 compaired to a PG. Its just the way it is. Those transmissions have to many rolling parts and carry to much weight. The glide stock is much lighter than those 2 trans. If your not prepaired to spend 3500 and up for a good metric or 5K and up for a pro trans just stick with the glide.
Better yet, install a man lever and pedal and have alot more fun..

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!
