Rick Abare !!!!

I have been racing him since 1997,the last thing he worries about is the tranny.

This is done about 300 times a year,NO PROBLEMS.

1.28-130 60ft and 10.2-10.3s !!!!

I switched from a T56 to an Abare 4L60E,no more problems.

A 60E will live behind 500 hp for a long time. Mine did.
