Re: Powerglide first gear
My Super Street car weighs 3575# and runs a 1.80 glide with 4.30 rear gears. I have more power but because of the weight I am only a little quicker on ET. Runs right around 10.30 wide open and goes 10.90 at about 127.
With a Pro Tree transbrake I am leaving at 3800 RPM with .050-.060 in the box, so no problem cutting a light.

Re: Powerglide first gear
I'm on the stop at 020 and its on for usually between 1.70 to 2.10 then it shifts into second. My car runs 10.teens usually. I here that toilets have to be shut back to idle to work well?

Re: Powerglide first gear
Sorry to high jack the thread, but has anyone ever experienced a much slower rollout when swapping first gear in a powerglide ? Say 1.98 to 1.80 . Thanks guys

Re: Powerglide first gear
To bad I'm in AZ I have a B&M 1.98 glide ,w/brake. Bell housing cracked and welded. Install and dedenbear bell housing and your set. $900 plus shipping which wouldn't make it feasible.

Re: Powerglide first gear
Thank you for the advice guys, seems a majority is to keep the C4 - this does save me some money to spend elsewhere.
