FTI Performance Powerglide 1.80 Planetary Gear Set – 4340 Long Style
If you’re building a Powerglide for serious performance, the planetary set is one of the most critical components in the transmission.
This FTI Performance 1.80 ratio planetary gear set is built from high-strength 4340 steel, delivering the durability needed to handle high horsepower, aggressive launches, and repeated race abuse.
The long style design provides compatibility with specific Powerglide configurations while maintaining strength and reliability under load.
Key Features
- Genuine FTI Performance component
- Fits GM Powerglide transmissions
- 1.80 gear ratio for performance applications
- 4340 alloy steel construction for superior strength
- Long style planetary design
- Built for high horsepower and racing use
Why 4340 Steel Matters
Not all gear sets are created equal.
4340 alloy steel offers:
- Higher tensile strength
- Improved fatigue resistance
- Better durability under shock load
Exactly what you need when:
- You’re leaving hard on a transbrake
- You’re putting real torque through the drivetrain
- You don’t want to rebuild the transmission again next month
Why a 1.80 Ratio?
The 1.80 ratio is a popular choice for:
- Stronger acceleration off the line
- Better performance in heavier or high-power cars
- Applications where improved launch characteristics matter
Ideal Applications
- Drag racing Powerglide builds
- High horsepower street/strip cars
- Bracket racing setups
- Performance transmission rebuilds
⚠️ Important Notes
