glide vs, 904...bench racing

If the 904 works, keep it. I don't know of any racer that run's Glides that doesn't have 1 or more in their trailer for a back up.

Same here I have been running 904s for over 35 years with very little failure. From what I have seen and heard a " glide " is 1 or 2 tenths slower . When you get in the 8.50 - 9.00 range the reliability of a 727 / 904 becomes questionable . I considered it for my 11 second Dart but the expense is too much to justify the change , converter, driveshaft , trans etc. Now that Cope is offering an SFI case for the 727 it could be a game changer for the reliability of 727s ! It would be nice if he offered an SFI case for 904s ! It sure would be nice to get rid of my pia CSR trans shield !
