I will try and get the weight of a Kilgore Superlite .

I run a Kilgore in my GT/FA Formula with a BBC. I also run a Protrans in the SS/DA Coronet . Both are high quality transmissions . It would be neat if someone would build a SFI case for the TorqueFlite !

That would be cool. A while back I saw a project to do a 727 but nothing since. Never seen anything for a 904. I would love to no longer be a CSR customer.

For fun calculate the mass correction factor per gear.

I would bet my Kilgore is way heavier than a ProTrans , mainly due to the ATI case . What really matters is the weight of the rotating parts . The components in a Kilgore are pretty innovative !

How about a race prep Glide with good case?

I am not familiar with that term. Is that the same as MOI?
