Gurus....How much for a well built Glide

So I'm in the market for a glide. Decided on one instead of a 400. I've contacted ATI and Proformance and have some prices. What is a realistic price for a piece that will handle 1800+? Trans and Bell

You are just right up the road from a great builder, one of the best there is IMHO.......Handy when it's time for a freshen up. Trans and Converters. You won't find any better customer service.

Thx David. I've heard of them but in all honesty, didn't know much about them. They're only about an hour from me to boot. I'll give them a buzz

i have a reid case glide from PTC and its been great. the $$ will be about the same whoever you buy from so the place close to you would be my pick.its nice to be close to a good trans/converter shop.

I'll have to agree with FTI. When I was at the Million last year, I wasn't sure if I was happy with my converter. I went and talked to Greg. He said that he had the perfect converter for my combination. He asked if I wanted to try it out. I said sure. He said, "hold on a few minutes, I just installed it in my car. I'll pull it out and let you try it". WHAT??? Turns out that it was a good fit. I ran it for 3 days and he said, "I'll call you next week to get the payment information". I can't think of a better way to win over a customer.

As far as cost on a glide, it will depend on the internals more than anything else. You won't find many that aren't built in aftermarket cases anymore. You can spend in excess of $5k if you build it with all the good stuff. You can get a really good one for under $2k.

You'll be happy you went with a glide.

$3k to $5k for the trans and another $1k to $1.5k for a killer converter
