Now that my motor build up is well under way i am starting to talk to trans shops about building the trans for my car. First heres a little info on the car/motor that the trans is going behind.

The car will wiegh about 2800#'s and the motor is a blown&injected 540 that should be putting out around 1000hp.

My question is this i talked to the local trans shop that does most of the high performance cars around this area and told him about my car/motor combo and he gave me a price to build a glide with trans brake that seemed pretty decent cost wise compared to what i was figuring it would cost. After talkin futher i found out the reason why is... he is talkin about using the factory glides case not a dedenbear or simuliar case.

He told me they have built alot of glides with factory cases for high HP drag cars and as long as i have a mid plate then i should not have any case problems,which i will be running front and mid plates since its a tube chassis car.

Is this true? has anyone run a simular combo with a factory glide case?

The dedenbear case would add about $800-900 but if it's neccesary then i will use it. This is the first motor of this power level i have built so i could use some experianced info on the trans case.

Thanks!
