Re: Powerglide vs. 3psd turbo ???
'68 camaro 350ci/ approx 3000lbs.
2sp glide - tricked out ATI with 2.08 straight cut first vs. tricked out ATI T350 with 2.75. There is way more money that could have been spent on both trannys but i wanted to get aleast a couple of seasons out of them before freshening.
2sp - 1.37-8, 6.51@102, 10.44-8@124.9
3 sp - 1.34-6 6.58@100, 10.51@122-3
the car comes up way high on the launch with the thre spped and i find that when it comes down i have to steer ever so much, where as the glide still pulls the wheel a fair amount by the the car stays dead straight. also with the 3sp there is a secondary bounce. i have purchased Santoff shocks and springs which will be installed this spring to try to stop the bounce and hopefully make the 3 sp quicker.
..and i have installed wheelie bars, but i have found a .02-.06 drop in sixty foot with each inch i lower the wheel hieght.
