i was just wondering who has owns a 9second car and wat kind of box they have behind it, how is it on the street cruising because im building a 9sec vl calais and im ready for a gearbox box i dont know weather to go a 2 speed or 3speed trimatic, and also some numbers of people who build em thanks

most ppl run glides

well a 3speed will give u a high 9 second pass but wouldnt last long if used racing all the time,, 2 speed powerglide is the go if you want a reliable box to run lower numbers 1TUFRB (did) and JETBT1 run 2speeds on the street EDIT: the 3speed is also more street friendly

two speed powerglide, with big converter, tuff as guts Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

im gettn a 2 speed glide built as we speak do it lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Virtually all of the quickest VL Turbo's run 2 speed Powerglide's, but you don't see these car's on the street too often, regardless of what people say. Protrans is the place to speak to, as alot of the fastest unit's are running transmission's by them. http://www.protrans.com.au/ Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yer thanks boys for the help if i can get some numbers of good places who do powerglide id appreciate it and also someone who does roll cages

welcome back Bouras lol

although i dont have some nuts VLT, ive got a glide in the VH, and on the street isnt as bad as ppl make it out to be - chances are the ppl saying theyre not streetable dont own one. it will feel laggy if your cruising below say 50 and boot it, but if you have the right converter and dif choice its not bad, just less gears to fk around with stall it up for a tuff launch and youl be sweet! wouldnt first gear be basically useless in a 3 or 4spd box if your pushing enough power to run 9s?

Nah not useless at all. I'm aiming for the 9sec bracket with my 4spd jatco, only time will tell though. I will be changing to a glide later down the track to go lower though.

you spent 9 grand on a jatco ? hmmm...

i heard jatco's can be built pretty strong i spent a good 2.5k on mine and my auto builder sed thats basic **** so im guessin for go a strong as 3 speed

i just bout a jatco 3speed wif transbrake i spent 3500g plus another 1g for the converter so 4500
