Default Powerglide Conversion?

Anyone? I know RPM did a 4l60e I wanna say but I know for drag racing a powerglide would be so much better. Not trying to stick with an A8 at high power levels and could care less about street drive ability

Dude, get an old Nova and run 8s for 1/4 the price (or less).

The A2 sucks, you get no driver involvement. Manuals rock, get an M3!

Ok. Well in fairness (i.e. to actually directly answer your question), I haven't heard of anybody doing this with a C7Z - at least not the usual hooligans that post in here.

Have a look here - it's been done for the C5 and C6, which means someone has packaged it for our transaxle application already:

I would think the c5z would be a better drag platform. It's light as ****
