powerglide with a 4k stall, its actually very easy to drive cause the power comes on late. I think it was getting spun up to 7500rpm and was still making power.

Wow through a glide , Good stuff man thats killing it ! Mine is similar with the glide on the street its pretty docile as it needs a bigger converter so it drives like a standard car as long as its not reving hard but still fun once it comes on. I need to put some better rods in it and wind it up a little further.

Get a bit done to the house first then I'm allowed to get another one Not gonna **** around, just spend good money and get one already bombed out and just change little bits to suit. Neds is pretty sweet man, top car for the money. Goes good, bout 415 at the tyres I think. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Took it to track tonight for some fun on 18" street Tyres cheapies and Ran a best of 11.6 @ 128mph with a 2.2 60'..... Was on the lowest boost setting and couldn't put my foot really into it cause of traction issues haha... ---------- Post added 05-12-12 at 22:07 ---------- Diff is being removed as its sold now.... Bought a new roller caged and mini tubbed.... Will get pics up when I pick it up....
