Why bother with a 6.0L setup like yours?

What do you mean? If you are saying becasue i wont make enough power id rather buy one tranny than 2. In the next couple years i'll hopefully be around the 1200+hp mark so i need something strong enough. And there are a few glides on tech that are going for the same price as a th400. And hold more HP it all depends on what pops up for sale...........

Not this year but eventually i'll do everything i need to i just didnt feel like buying more than one tranny. Like i said it all depends on what pops up for sale. This is my first build so its not going to be a quick process. But i want to get it running by the end of april. And i still want it a street car that 25.5 cage is friggen extreme haha

I would stick with the TH400, I hate glides really. Never been good to drive with.

Everything breaks making good power. I thought my car would be a cheap build and I'll hit $30k easy enough. My last 25.5 build hit $35k for just a rolling chassis before selling it.

I'm thinking it was more fun running a h/c 11.5 second car.

the glide will run better in a race turbo application but good luck driving it around lol.....for the street the th350/400 will be suited best.....the 3 speed will allow you to run a tighter converter with less gear....youll enjoy driving it much more.....
