2 Speed Powerglide

[dangreene]

Hey guys looking at doing a 2speed glide with 3000rpm stally in my ba series 1 xr6t.

It has standard diff gears.

I do basically no freeway driving so was just curious as to rpm - speed.

Any rough idea on how many revs it would do at say 80kph?

Its a weekend car basically built for strip and eating the occasional d*ckhead in a HSV on the weekend so drivability isnt essential haha.

Any thoughts you guys have this setup would be awesome!

Cheers

go for it, aslong as you dont plan on doing extended 100+kmph trips it will be perfect. Id go 3500 stally atleast if you want a street/strip car.

most of it depends on how loose the convertor is, but to get half an idea drive around with your 4 speed auto in 3rd gear, it will be the same ratio but not replicate the convertor slip

Would that be 3rd gear minus the overdrive?

[ratter]

?

3rd gear in the 4 speed is 1:1, 2nd gear (top) in the glide is 1:1

[xr6t_ute]

ok sorry was just trying to see if the comparison was with 3rd gear overdrive or not, (like the ba 4 speed auto)

OverDrive is a 4th gear.

By overdriver, I think you mean converter lockup...

[xr6t_ute]

yes I was referring to the convertor lock up in 3rd gear on a btr 4 speed, as there is one at 60km/h. Its all good, I got the jist of it now.
