Default TA Girdle worth the $$$$$

TA cover with stud girdle worth the money or is it a waste of cash. Looking to maybe running my car about 2 times at the track on 26x11.5x15 MT slicks and stalling it about 3500 to 4000 rpm. Just want to know if it wll help in the sturdiness of the diff. I know what mostly breaks after a few good hits is the Gears thou.... Should i also runa synthetic gear fluid can anyone recommend one.....

Yes, a girdle cover and studbolt kit is money well spent to help out the 7.5" rear, especially if you're running the car at the track at all, IMO. WJ

You need to decide what your goal is with the car. If you plan to make some serious horsepower then the ta girdle will be a waste of money and would be money better spent towards a 9" or 12 bolt rearend. If you dont plan to do too much to the car then getting the ta girdle would be a good idea.

I agree with SScotie. I plan on only running hig to mid 12's. I only have the 4.10's with the TA cover and it is holding the 6 grand launches on ET streets. i dont know for how long though
