don't fool with the 1.82's...they will go kaboom with big power....NO personal experience with them just what I have been told....and a side by side comparison shows they look much weaker.

dont forget if the car is 3000 plus lbs a 1.80 first gear in the glide is almost a must to get ya off the line nicely, i had a 350 turbo in my 3300 lbs street car and went to the glide and 60ft slowed up a little, changed the converter and added a little more stall speed and 60's were back also mph was up by 5mph with the glide
