Lt1 /powerglide 4 1/8th mile racin' I'm putting together a '94 Z/28 automatic trans bracket car for the local 1/8 track. I would like to hear from some of the experienced fellas what they would think of a powerglide behind an LT1 for the 1/8. What would be needed torque number wise and gearing(tranny and diff.) wise for this to be a worthy combo.
I have:
CM 233/239, 569/577 lift cam 108 intake centerline 112 lobe sep.
GTP stage 1 heads with 2.00/1.56
Dry nitrious kit-gonna switch to a NX wet kit however 100shot/200shot if needed
12bolt 4.56
28" slicks
These parts can be handed down to the 'bird if needed replaced.
Tell me:
1. Torque convertor
2. Compression, pump gas preferred, or is it gonna need 12.5/higher to get the power needed
3. Rear diff. gearing and tranny gearing
4. 26" slicks?
What do I have to do for the 'glide to work for me. Desired time range=6.7-7.0
