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

X2 Adger On car that is really sensitive to converter,like low hp stocker,gear ratio change can make converter wrong. Simple way to think about converters is like they are rubber band easier the car moves,lower gear in trans or rear,weight reduction,etc. the tighter the converter will be the harder to move,higher ratios,added weight the looser it becomes.
If going from 1.76 or 1.8? glide to 2.75 in 200 is not going to use same converter,before anyone says it I know they don't interchange,unless both are converted to for turbo 350 converter.
When I had a auto went from 2.48-2.75 low and converter was a little tight w/2.48 and got worse w/2.75

I went back to what I know and love ,turn 6 adjusters w/long 7/32 allen wrench in about 5 minutes I'm ready to go again,I rarely even get any clutch dust on me,I hate that atf stuff I call it devils blood.

my trannys and converters for the stocker (which it what i was commenting on) are all ATI pieces. i have back to back'd 11 converters in the 350 and made the adjustment as recommended from ATI from what we consider our base line with the 350, when we went to the glide.

the glide has a 2.08 first gear, the 350 has a 2.75 first gear. I have been thinking of trying the Pro Trans spare i have which has a 2.48 first gear, but it mostl likely won't happen this year.

Also, i have never put the car on kill. i run in bracket mod all the time. 18 pounds in the rear tires, launch at 3200-3400 based on reaction, 35 degrees timing no matter what and i never change jets throughout the season, there maybe more in the car with the glide if we tried high rpm launches and way more rear tire pressure as the glide already makes more mph, i remember with the Chevelle i was running three years ago, 5 psi in the rear tires made almost 5 mph (we ran 22psi and tried 27 - Hoosier light weight radials 9x30 92 inch roll out).
