Don't think planetary style are legal they wouldn't be best choice anyway they use more power and are heavier.
I had customers switch from glides to 3spd. Lenco Drives (w conv.) and slowed there cars down a little, but they don't have to switch input shafts every 5-8 runs anymore.
If remember Rossler had best input for glide then thats the ones lasted 5-8 passes if didn't shake tires, if they had tire shake input would break then or on next pass.that was about 6-7 years ago they were running 4.40's nos door cars,they considered going to API big brutes but Lenco drive was same or less $.
