I know the glide is best for bracket racing but I want to know about which one will et the best in a 3200 lb BBC car...I don't care about consistent. I just wonder if the lower first gear and harder launch with the 400 will be offset by the extra hp needed to turn it. I just horse around with my car and have fun, so consistency doesn't concern me much. It dead hooks with little burnout with a glide...60' is low 1.30's I just was thinking of putting a 400 in it for fun.
If it were me Tod> I'd stick 200r4, lower first than T400, if you tear it up, no sweat, just go to the junkyard and grab another one for $50 :lol:

I may do that so I can brag that my car was so powerful it destroyed the trans.
