Th400 or glide

[LCA1971]

Would you run a th400 or a glide? 2900lbs, 274ci(4.060 borex 3.520 stroke), PT-88, 26x8.5 m/t, pro tree 1/8 mile racing! Rear gear will depend on trans!

Thanks,
Chris

for a race only at that weight I say a glide.

Been running the 400 for 5 years with no problems.

With what trans can we get the best ET with?

PG with out a single question.
You do not want the extra gear and steeper first gear with that small of a tire.

Liberty 5 speed, but they are too much money and there is a big learning curve with the clutch! A glide with a neal chance converter sould be fine.

Thank you Sir!

We do know that the Liberty is outstandning but this is empty pocket racing and we was just wondering about PG vs 400 and our thoughts where correct.

Thanks!

I have a Liberty with the clutch can and Ram dual disc 10" that will cost you less than a race prepped Glide alone. This is the complete setup to fit behind a Buick.

i say a glide all the way and as far as gear for the 1/8 i do not belive in it if you make power and you can leave with boost it shouldnt matter too much i went from a 3.89 gear with a 34.5 in tall tire to a 3.5 gear and seen the same 60 foot and 1/8mile if you hit it hard the torque that little motor will make will compensate for what ever gear within reason

I whole heartedly agree. Since your below 3000 lbs. there will be absolutely no advantage to running the 400 over the PG. Especially at the HP levels you will be producing with that combo. The PG is an easier and cheaper transmission to PM also. Neal Chance all the way for a converter. At the HP level your going to see, the rear axle gear ratio is not going to be critical to get right on. Just make sure it is a gear that will get you close to redline at the end of the quarter with whatever tire combo you decide to use.

If you would, keep me advised as to what converter stall and TQ multiplication factor you set the converter up with.
