Default Tranny or Rear?

Just wondering which one typically goes first. I know I am bording the recommended specs on both. I launch at about 2200 with my current 3200 TCI converter on ET streets. I am doing 1.67 60' times. I guess im looking for the car to be safe. I am debating adding a set of heads and a 4400 vig converter for this race season. Just wondering what I can expect or if either will hold that config. Appreciate the help!


Thanks,

Mike

the rear will probably hold a bunch of 1.5x 60 fts but usually craps out (from what i've read/seen) at numerous 1.4x 60 fts

the tranny is hit or miss on how much power, heat, and for how long.

heads/cam car is gonna push the tranny pretty quick, so I'd expect that to go first

I saw some decent rebuilt 460LEs for about 1500-1900. I probably will hold off on the 4400 stall as I want this thing to have some ability to drive on the street. Thanks for the help.
