496 with a powerglide moser 9 inch 25year old comp 90/10 shocks and moroso springs out back is a cheap set of comp shocks

Ok so when people put power glides in drag cars how modified are they? Are they converted to manual?

car has 4.57 gear was running 29.5 x10.5 mt stiff side walls was going through the traps at 7400 motor made power around 6900 7000 what do u guys think I should try for a gear

I think you are right on for a gear. What do you shift at? General thoughts say that you should shift at about 72-7300 with a 7000 rpm power peak and you are crossing in the right area. I wouldn't touch it.

X2 on the gear although I was taught 7-10% above peak power for a shift point, depending on how well the engine carries out past peak.

No problem! You did good. Those are some great numbers.... for any car, let alone first time out.
The glide going that quick is real interesting.....

Congrats again!!!! You should probably be around for that! Just remember, Jimmie Johnson always manages to work the babies in around the races...
Seriously, congrats on both!

Try a 4.10 and maybe a different converter. Lenny, at UCC got Dustin Morgan a couple of tenths, and he was in the low nines.

Congratulations!!!!!! That is more important than anything. I have 3 of them myself. They are a trip. Right to the nuthouse.

Oh yeah the picture. I would try a 15X3.5 wheel and a racing tire on the front.
