Powerglide people, please come on in..
Powerglide people, please come on in.. After much debate, I have decided to go with a powerglide and an 8" N20 verter in my truck. Here are the reasons why:
Consistancy
3,300lb race weight (With more weight reduction to come)
418ci motor with 2 stages of N20 (up to 500hp)
Have been told by a couple trans shops that it will ET/MPH better than a 80E or 400 (slower 60' though).
Just wondering what this might do to RWHP. Obviously Dyno numbers aren't the end all be all, but do you think the HP numbers on the dyno will go up or down?
I made 521rwhp with the 4L80E locked in 3rd gear. (And a sad 469rwhp unlocked)
What was your experience with dyno numbers from a 4L60E or 4L80E to a glide?
Did you gain or loose?
Was the 60E/80E locked or unlocked?
Thanks in advance.
