Default Robz help !!

Hey bro,
First absorb this :a 1.48 sixty foot with a 400 tq motor, single disk clutch and 390 gear.

What will happen to my sixty foot with a 435 tq motor, Twin disk clutch and a 373 gear ??

Think my new 390 is toast now

Default clutch-rear diff

What is the weather like then ?

Rob, here is a picture of my last clutch and fly wheel from RPS..25 runs is all I got !! You would think I had 1,000 hp or something !!

The first RPS Stage 4+... I got 50 runs before we yanked it out. After talking around I went to the McLeod Twin. Now I wonder if that was a mistake because it hits so hard ?? Now I need a new rear end after a total of 4 runs.

tex 0Z700 single disc= 70passes and seems to be doing ok thus far. It may be starting to show some signs of wear but we'll giver some normal street driving and see if she recovers and from what i can tell she will IMO.
I replied in the other thread in regards to my thoughts on the possible 60ft results.

Thanks Bruce..

glad your clutch is hanging in. Maybe on my next round I will try it. Keep me posted...we need to all take notes so we can buy the products that actually last !! My friend is on year 5 with his Pontiac..drag racing and street driving...he has the McLeod Twin also. This was his Pinks All Out Photo I took.

I guess the vette diff is not as tough as we would like to believe...even with the DTE Brace. I will get some pic's of the damage in the next week or so.
