weight and 3 gears (th400) vs. 2 (p/g) and a P/G with 1 less gearset and less weight, takes less power to drive.

P/G is more for high hp/lightweight cars, or really high hp cars that don't need the extra 1st gear ratio, a p/g with less 1st gear ratio also helps with wheel standing vs. a th400 which has more 1st gear.

P/G cars usually run more stall than a 3 speed setup and have a wider rpm range.

My buddy runs a 6,000 converter in his and shifts into top gear before 1/2 track, then from there it's just mph down the road.

I'm starting to get more and more interested in the PG lately, talked to a few guys with them and they speak very highly of them

th400 on the transbrake on the track but foot brake on the streets best 60'
was only a 155 but im hoping to put the car in the 8's next year on juice....
because it has gone 9.70 twice but stays around 9.90's on a small shot so i thought go big or go home...

Th350 w/ reverse manual valve body and t-brake. FTI 5600 (on the juice). I leave at about 3800 rpm. Could leave harder but I dont want to hit the bumper. I run a 3.73 gear and a 325-50-15 MT DR (28" tall). I am thinking of dropping to a 3.55 rear gear as I dont like going thru the traps to much over 7K RPM.
