In comparison to other workshops offering ZF builds with billet shafts etc? I can guarantee we are doing things inside these gearboxes that others wouldnt even think to do. We have continuously evolved our products over time and in saying that GLOUVA's fastest Fg xr6 turbo in the country doesnt even have the latest spec build trans!

Have you priced up a powerglide conversion with all the fruit?

My built box is the same spec at the elite Fg GTE and I can tell you it feels more then capable of the almost 500 rwkws it has now if not 600. John sounds like you should have got cms or nizpro to build your box. Robbie was ok 3 years ago but sadly fallen well behind what other shops are doing. Who doesn't want 6 gears and 9 sec passes?

The box was built years ago when we our goals weren't so outlandish and the options simply weren't available. What we've put it through it did well.

Our major problem is that we hit a software issue that noone could work around not to mention that the price of a built box that is untested at the level we're gonna be playing at wasn't something I wasn't willing to bank on. With our mechanical and turbo combo we need a larger stall than what's possible or available for the zf so that was another major negative towards pursuing the zf route any further.

When I get my glide built can you come over and tell me how much it feels like it's capable of?

Do you also do tarot cards?

Chuck,

In all fairness you do not do as many Kay's as Veva who is a rep that drives around all day visiting clients.

Believe me if his car was as heavily weight reduced as yours it would easily run a 9.

Less weight would also put less stress on the box.

The ZF is never going to be as strong as a fully built glide, but the glide is never going to be as nice to drive on the street as a ZF, don't care who has one and says they are.

You don't see the Euro manufacturers running glides in there luxury cars no matter how much power they have.
