Spib, we always have glides in stock. There is one that is ready to go that would fit your application. Give Dion a call at Vickers Transmissions 330-584-3679 and you tell him Shawn told you to call. I do have an ad on the Tranny section if you want to look. Plenty of track championships, divisional and national winners and this years Summit Super Series Runner Up for Division 3 all using them.

Depends how much you want to spend.
You dont need much of a glide for 600hp.
How much weight do you have?

spib 01-02-2010 05:19 PM

3140 with fat boy in it

A 1.76 glide with a chromoly input shaft, hardend high gear hub and 6 clutches in high would hold that 385 in your s10 blazer.

I have this exact trans for sale that I had freshened by TSI. I would like to offer it to you guys first before I post it for sale to the general public. It had very few runs on it but I had it gone thru just to make shure it was ok. I paid $1200 for it new and I would like to get $750 plus shipping. It was in my camaro that had 770 hp. I have since changed my combo and increased the horsepower by 150 and went to a dedenbear glide by TSI. I know this is not the for sale section but wanted to offer it to you guys first. I hope you had a great holiday season. Take care, Mike

Most racers switch to a glide to gain more consistent ETs when racing. Less tire spin on the launch. Take care, Mike
