Quick the problem with your answer is they did not have PowerGlide parts in them, the new one do

What does a Powerglide have to do with Kevins question?

Thanks I thought Mopar built one but could not remember the era.I thought maybe they brought it back and refined it or something.Hate to ask about these new cars ,It just seems to open up a pissing match.Thanks

If the Mopars can't have powerglide parts in them, then the fords and chevys with the pro trans with the torqueflite guts got to go. Be careful what you ask for.

That would suit me. That would mean $6000.00 I don't need to spend. LOL

Is that with a stock 11 inch with 1800 stall or do you guys have real race converters? BTW, What is the stall speed of the stock converter in one of the DP 512 cars?

Casey Miles
248H Stock? 10.5 clutch!

It seems the production cars have a little better starting line combo than this prototype I have. The one's I have seen stall above 6000, and shift @ 6500. Footbrake to 25 to 35. We got all kind of new stuff, but can't really say if any of it is worth anything yet. One thing as said at the beginning of this thread is these cars, DP's and the Catfish looking mustangs will throw you the wheel spin curve just when you think you got it figured out. On the dp's (and any other wide car) the rear tread is so wide, it's is actually hard go fit the car in the grove. The cars are substantially wider than my 69 Super Bee. I lost in Indy last year, final in the CIC race at No Problem, and final at Silver Dollar points race last year with wheel spin. And I ain't lookin for sympathy, just stating a couple of facts about the new cars.
