Arrow Moser 12 bolt life?

I just bought a used Moser 12 bolt and I am wondering how many 1.6 60' launches it can take? I can't wait to get it installed. Hopefully no more worries going to the track.

A 12 bolt will live for a long time behind an automatic car. I wouldn't worry if I were you - 1.6 60's shouldn't hurt it.

I ran a 33 spline/spool 12 bolt but had a pro gear, I ran 9's and 1.30 60 ft

As has been mentioned, the automatic will help it out. I recommend that you tack-weld the four torque arm bolts to the nuts after you install the torque arm, as these bolts tend to loosen up, even when loc-tite is used. Bob
