Default Off the line with PG

I have a JW Promod Powerglide leftover from my aborted 95mm turbo build , and want to use it in my 408 Nitrous car (since no-one wants $4500 PG)

My question is with a 4.10 gear & 29.5" tire will the 1.8 low gear be to much to work properyl.

Car is a 14.0:1 408, ET 265's solid roller, on a dual stage Kit 150/100.
30XXlb race weight.

Anyone see it having any problems getting of the line Properly?

Spray the **** out of it and the glide will work killer.

would you recommend 200 of the line, then another 100 progressive up top?

Motor is built for serious abuse, o-ringed block, ET heads, 9/16 head studs and Nitrous Specific Pistons)

My slow car is 3200lbs 4.10, 29 X 10W Hoosier, 9.30 on nuts, 8.50 on 175 shot with a Coan Top Dog and mine was only $4250.

Use a 84" bar.

Oh, I just happen to have a set 4 sale. ($200)

Do you keep your turbo in the fridgerator next to the milk and soda??

Almost anyone with a good amount of HP runs a 1.80 glide. You won't have any problems with it being "too much".

sonic snake is running a glide in his camaro, and he's only running a little 346 with a 150 hit. Car runs 9.5 to 9.6, and was 60 footing in the 1.3x range with goodyear drag radials......... the glide will be fine.

Try a 102" bar?!?!?

Coan claimed 2250-2500 HP when I bought mine, I would hope any of the brands $4000+ glides better be pretty damn strong. I was just giving you a little jab, nothing meant by it. Good luck.
