Since we're knocking off the dust on this post I'll chime in too.
Your way under geared for a glide with that big of a tire, especially if your running the 1/8.
Swaping to a Turbo 350 will net you better sixties but only slightly.
Going with Turbo 400 which has an even lower first gear will further improve your short times.
I run a 558 gear (1/8) in my car which only has a 32 inch tire.
Go up on the gearing and possiblly the converter and stay with the glide is my recommendation.
