Yup, I think the case was like $900. Still thought this is a relatively low level Glide. Ive seen them as high as 12K for some crazy ****. FTI rates it for 1200WHP but ive seen similar style glides hold 1500+
Even at $6500 for a clutch and a brand new top of the line GM manual trans.. that is a drop in the bucket compared to some autos ive seen. Also your right no T56 can hold a candle to a Glide.. all reasons why i made the decision to switch.

Glide is superior to a T56 in a short run drag race scenario only. Thats not up fro argument, but is a one trick pony. On the road course, 1/2 mile or Mile racing, and IMO for daily enjoyment, I'll still with my beat T56. I am sure I will go auto as well when I am ready to build a dedicated drag car.

I agree to a point-you still have fail points in even a "bulletproof" auto. This forum is rittiled with billion dollar auto trannies and converters eating themselves in short order, much of the time for no ryme or reason.

The whole purpose of the Glide/GV purchase was to build the ultimate all around trans dominating the roll and 1/4 mile races. Im not sure how you think manually shifting from 3-4/4-5 in a 1500ft distance is going to be quicker than a one time auto shift.

The tall gear is the best part on the street
And as far as what's "better" on the street I can tell you that when I can put down an asston of power on the street and never break anything it seems alright to me

Can also setup an output chart on the holley to cross tps or map vs speed which is how I would use it. I don't see why a guy would want to split low unless u where crutching a converter that isn't right for the combo
If u do want to setup a gear system, depending on your shifter you can setup micro switches on most for gear identify.

The manual would feel faster because it is faster for that split second it's hooking and going. Every shift is a chance to botch the shift and upset the tires and chassis. The extra power put down by the manual can't overcome the smooth seamless pull of the auto in a uber high hp application.
I've seen a few examples of 1/2 mile cars with glides getting it done, but never a mile. Have any of you experienced them at a mile event. I would think it would take one hell of a cooler.

Ive been dropping hints about a build im in the middle of so ive decided to go ahead and post it early. Most of the guys that create build threads say to create the thread while your in the middle of it so that details are not lost.
Hoping to be like LILHEMI and become a "Big Dog" some day!
