Question Considering selling my Jakes 4l80e in favor of a Glide

I just wanted to get some feedback from those with glides and preferably those that I've had both. This has turned into a pretty much dedicated track car at this point and it seems the fastest turbo cars are all using glides or th400 on occasion. But most seem to favor the glide for the first gear ratio. Not sure how much I could recoup from my current set up with the 250 or so miles on it. But I am pretty sure it would finace a glide and converter. At this point I am going to test the waters on the sale. At $3000 it would save someone a good chunk of change.

Right now only about 600, but I plan on cranking the boost once I get the suspension sorted out. Car weighs under 3200 with me in it.

Stage 2 no brake with a circle d pro billet 245mm 3800 rpm single disc. The trans brake is a $600 upgrade that can be installed. Even installing that it would be about $1000 less for the same combo than you would get new and this one only has 250 miles on it.
