The Powerglide is a great box, most of the big power pickups in Texas use them(up to 1200 bhp) but the added cost of additional works will made a sixspeed the more cost effective way forward. Plus the sixspeed is proven where as the the Powerglide will only be as good as the modification work.
Hard one to call but upward and forward

Agreed Hugh,we will be using for now PPG until,we will need to go with 6speed
Those US Autoboxes are really strong and really will hold power without the problem,GM TH400 cost less than 1000USD for freshly rebuild box,adapter hub/plate cost under 300USD etc.
Really not sure,but we will see,still friend will be selling the Kaps Sequential gearbox in few months,but not sure,because have rally ratios which not sure how will work on drag strip

Hi Tom
Those boxes are proven in high powered cars and usually they're not break,anything is possible to break as 6 speed is possible to break too
Our plan is to have mostly car for drag/track days,but with automatic gearbox car will be used as before daily
