Why didn't you guys tell me how boring a glide is! I love the consistency and the win lights are nice. Been to 4th round in the last 3 races but my word it is as boring a ride as sitting watching grass grow! Really wish I would have waited and put a manual in it! Anyone want a good glide and Ultimate 8 inch converter?

mine goes 1.20 60' with the front tires 18" in the air, I can tell you it aint boring lol, Hell I cant keep it off the bumper half the time.

just put some more cowbell to it........ Wink


Honestly if your gonna bracket race what you have seems to be working, bracket racing in general is boring........thats why I just stuck a plate on our smallblock car lol. If you want entertaining then forget the bracket racing, get a system from Induction Solutions and get ready to have fun........

Bracket racing is boring. Guess I'm a speed freak or adrenaline junkie. I have thought of calling Induction Solutions.

Melvyn just needs a 4.300"-4.500" crankshaft and the boring factor will go away Wink

When I first got my glide I thought,Holy Shit,this thing is no fun at all. I thought it would never shift. Had a 1.25 short time but it seemed like 1.50. The ole Maverick had a 1.34 60' w/with the body twisting like a prettzel,but it felt like a 1.10 compared to a glide.
I have a fresh built C4 w/8" 4500 conv. I will do some trading w/you for the glide.

I don't have a glide in my car but I made it act like one and I love it. I get a kick out of being able to put some high dollar cars back in thier stacker trailers. I ran super pro last weekend which was 1/8 th mile, it make love bracket racing again. To me 5.80's in the 1/8th don't give much time to get bored. Can't wait to go faster.
