How much does the car weigh? Powerglide trans don't consume much power, but two gears can be a handicap if the car is not properly set up. You may need to get your low gear ratio near 10:1. For example, I had a Camaro that ran a glide with a brake, straight cut 1.80 low gear set, with a 5.57 ring and pinion. This theoretical ratio is ten revs of the engine to one of the tires. I left the line @ 6200, shifted at 8200 and car ran 8.80's @ 149. The car worked very well, shocked the tires hard, but it only weighed 2070#'s.
