Yes, I've checked my pattern and it looks the same as when I set it up. If the pattern moves, it's because the shims weren't fully compressed or the housing is flex'ing.

mikronite is a process that you put gears through similar to sand blasting, the gears are still made of steel
as far as putting them 'through their paces', i'm sure these guys put way more stress on them than we'll ever do.

Verdad Gallardo yeah that's it. i thought it's because they buy better parts and do what it takes to make sure 6000+ hp doesn't break anything.

then look for the data. this isn't anything new. been around for many years. mikronite enlisted many other companies to do the same tests. they even tried to keep test type vehicles as close from one test to another. the 2000 firebird with 420 rwhp and 200 n2o, mark campbell is refering to wasn't mine. i got verification about that today.
i'll see what i can do about getting some 1.4 60ft times just for you next month. i doubt i will, might finally see some 1.5s though.

ok prostock cars do not make 6,000 plus hp, they make around 1200 on motor rougly but the fuel cars make the 6,000 plus hp and even then its theoretical because they cant prove it because no dyno can handle it

You can also Mikronite axles as well which will help strengthen the entire package. Strength and power, what are the disadvantages?
