Re: 3 speed in SS, which trans with brake
I think Tom is right. a lo-buck th350 would be faster than the glide in your application.

I remember talking to Joe LoCicero years ago about his SS car and he sad "if I want to go fast I run a turbo, If I want to win rounds I run a glide" Don Jackson

Re: 3 speed in SS, which trans with brake
In the 2000 - 2002 season I raced an IHRA Crate Motor stocker. The initial build up was with a 200 trans. In the fall of 2000 the 3 speed broke and I swapped in a powerglide to make an up-coming race.
The car was sooo much easier to stage [smoother, less harsh] and became dead-on consistent. With the powerglide I won more and was more relaxed when driving. Never reinstalled the 200 trans.

You are correct Maurece , I just usually use the 2.48 number as a generic ratio for most three speeds.
