                      mostly drag car with a turbo LSx i would HAVE to vote 'glide, they are absolutely not unstreetable. In fact with decent power they are much more streetable than a 3 speed

                        Did Zach notice much of a difference when he swap from the th350 to a glide?

                          yes, it is way better with the glide

                            The glide is lighter, good parts for it are a lot cheaper, and you have one less shift point to screw up going down the track. 😛 Overall it's a win-win.

                              the best thing i have done aside the V8 is the glide

                              what does your car weigh? i am right at 3k with me in it

                              atleast for me it works better on the street, it helps put the power down and manage traction

                              gary rode in it on the street on the same power it was going lower 9s and can vouch for how well it hooks

                              plus it loads up and gets me full boost instantly, and i can still way overpower myself on the line when on the Brake

                              another thing is i have a remote fluid cooler with electric fan..... with the 350 that thing would run about all the time when driving/beating

                              with the glide i think it has kicked on twice, but alot of that could do with the converter too

                                I looked at my buddies glide and found out it would not work at this moment. I'm planning on running what i have for the rear suspension for now to keep the cost down 😞 But once I do like you did Zach build my 6.0 and make it more of a track car than i will go with a glide. But now i have made progress. Got the old a/c heater box out and installed the non a/c box. Got the exhaust manifold's modified today and cut the idler arm bracket out and installed a plate over the hole. Also started the hotside exhaust pipe and kinda got the downpipe figured out. Hopefully have the hotside done this week.

                                      It's a gt-45 ( 70mm ) if i remember. It was free i'm planning on upgrading after it get this set-up done. I started looking at an S400 75mm with a T-4 flange. But i'm open to suggestion's

                                        With a relatively big cube motor like that, I'd go with a T6. It leaves you a lot more options in the future if you decide to upgrade.

                                          yeah if you have the room build it around a t6 footprint

                                          looks good!
