First time on site so far looks great. i've got a 68 mustang coupe with 572 in. its backhalfed with a fourlink and 33x17x15 the car is 3,470 lbs with me in it and so far it runs 9.76 at 139mph N/A im going to brainerd mn in 3 weeks to try the bottle. The on thing im not sure about is the 1.48 60 foot , should it be better or is that about right ? The engine make 813 @ 6800 and 758@ 4800 .

Before i tell you guys the trans , I know what was i thinking i was talked into it by afew friends. Its a coan extreme glide with a 5200 stall converter . The first gear is a 1.76 . On the button or on the foot doesnt reelly make much difference the rear gear is 4.30. ive left at 2000 and let it flash and on the button it leaves at 4400 .

That sounds about right for a glide,they typically don't 60 like a 3 speed. The 4.30 gear sounds about right, But those BIG tires are probably hurting you. JMO

I beg to differ, my glide 60's harder than my 3 speed ever did lol.

Converter is a big deal with the glide, if its off even a little its not gonna leave worth a damn.
