I realize that the C4 wasn't transbraked. But the 11.85 pass with the glide was, wasn't it? Bit unfair comparing a transbraked launch with a larger convertor, than a non-transbraked launch with a smaller convertor. Were you also running a different manifold? Like I said, not being smart, just want to know what the story is ;)

My cars looking like it'll be insured with Shannon's soon. They've offered to insurer it for $15,000 with pics. $10,000 sight unseen. When I redo the paint I'll get them to come in inspect the car again. $15,000 at least covers the engine and box.

Compare the two : 4500rpm on a c4 is the same as launching @ 5500rpm+ on a glide. c4 = 2.46 1st gear glide = 1.76 At the pointy end they are both the same 1:1. What is it like? Try launching a c4 in 2nd gear. Thats how tall a glides 1st is. The higher stall combats the tall 1st. In actual fact I think a c4's 2nd gear still isn't as tall as a glides 1st. Not sure and don't have my books handy to verify it. Where did I gain that tenth? My guess is by removing that extra gear change ;)

Ofcorse the C4 as faster. Way faster if he used 2nd gear like most people do.

Moral is those that haven't use each different box will be loyal to what they own. Those that have used both soon change their mind.
Reliability is best. nb : for xdclevo I don't post every time I head to the track. So you don't know when and what I've tested. Please don't assume you know everything I've done. Only I can tell you that. Unless you have a crystal ball?

If you're going to post stuff, at least post what you actually did or don't bother posting it. Very annoying when wrong information is being bandied around.

I'll keep it as vague as possible and be as vague as possible because I treat others as they treat me.

brenx, you did the 11.96 with the weiand. That is fact! I'm sick of betting a wager and you never take me up on it. I will bet you dollars! You name the amount, and i will say yes. Just please post the truth and not what suits your story at the time.
(ps, you up for the bet or what? I have some new things i want!)

Well, if you aren't going to post the truth then don't bother posting at all. I don't care is you're vague but if what you say isn't accurate then keep it to yourself. Any credibility you had just evaporated |

I wouldn't even bet money my current setup would beat your current setup. I'm not that type of person. I work for what I have not try and take advantage of others.

Some things I don't want known. Note : my 393 combo isn't in the engine thread for that reason. 351 combo most know 99% about it. It was an everything off the shelf engine.

Powerglides seem to be the choice for serious cars, i bought my C6 of a bloke with an XD drag car, he sold it as he's upgrading to a powerglide.

enough keyboard bashing brenx, 11.11 from a mildish 393 on pulp, in a heavier xb with small slicks/ 2 speed/ and street suspension is awesome. |

The powerglide can not handle heaps of horsepower when standard, they are fairly heavily modified when they handle over 1000 hp, sometimes they end up with not a standard peice of p/glide in them and that goes for the casing as well, some guys use the deadenbear case

i remember when the last one let go....wasnt that not long after a reco? there wasnt much salvageable from it either from memory. ive always been taught that if you want a box to last behind a tough car you cant go past a 'glide |
