what powerlevels will break the 1.82 gears in a glide.

I have one that im building and it came with the gears in it. I dont really want to spend the $$$ for an aftermarket set yet.

my car is ~ 3000-3100 with me in it and makes about 550whp on a 150 shot

car also currently has 28'' tire and 3.73's

 

You will be fine. I've run 800+ hp through a stock gearset. Make damn sure that they are in good shape though. I rebuild all of mine before they are ever reused.

 

You should be just fine at that power level. Those old gearsets are very tough. Run it, enjoy it!

thats what i like to here

 

You would be better off with a 1.76 gearset. The stamped steel carrier on the 1.82 is the problem, not the gears.
