My set began to twist after only a few passes.

Damn Anthony, did the same bloke screw together our cars? I feel for you. Everytime we fix them even the new parts dont work right.

I just rebuilt the t56 with Rockland to race spec and also replaced everything from the ARP bolts on the flywheel right up to the tips of the axles. The clutch that was put in burned up in 406 miles and mangled my trans beyond repair.

Guess what just went? the #&$%!@g master! :banghead:

FWIW, Tick just dropped their price on the Tilton unit 50 bucks.
