Why are you trying to run a power glide with a trans brake? Are you running it in stock?
Car would be much better with a metric 200.

Im curious as well as to why youre running a transbrake, and if so, why you would inform us. Only if you are just running brackets with it then that's fine. I run the exact same combo and ran previously a glide, but now I have a th350 and the 60' times are much better, putting my metric in this week though with a 2.74 low. Your car is very heavy for what it can be, im at 3077 with me in it running F and I don't have any weight anywhere except for the majority in the drivers seat!! My converter stalls at exactly 5k which took me about 4 different converters to finally get the right one in the car. With a 2.75 low gear, shifting at 6500, and 5.38's my shift light comes on about 100-150 feet before the 1/4 mile finish line.
If you are running it in stock, what class do you plan on running? The 385hp guys are low 6's on average from what I've seen. |

The car was being bracket raced when i bought it and that is what i am doing with it also,the car was going 6.85's in good weather but the guy kept trans and convertor which was a glide ,so i now have a reid case and a 5800 stall with 196 first gear,i will check the actual stall this weekend,car has h/cm on window,there is a national open near me that i thought i could run the car in but maybe i can't with the glide ? I would like to go a bit faster that's why i was thinking 385 hp combo and that would still keep the car close to legal for ihra if i decided to sell it some day thanks Guys ! Once again i am new to stock,crate motor stuff i just bracket raced !!

at 3288 you would be in G/CM, I tried a fast burn once and it was only a tenth faster than I have been with the vortec head motor . I will admit there was more there with the fastburn but I didn't pursue it farther.
