Gear oil and tranny/rear end support

<< < (2/2)

BK:
I didn't have any support behind the engine and depended on the motor plates only in a mid 8 sec. car. Ended up with a broken mid plate. The coupler got shoved into the back of the transmission taking out the case.

dreracecar:
Blown 7.0 car with the trans off the motor plate only. wind up having to build a new plate every 8 years from flexing, no big deal

spitzerscott:
We run a Mark Williams all aluminum modular rear end and we run Red Line gear oil.

What were the 60' times?

dreracecar:
Leaving off the hand brake at high idle (tugging on the brakes hard) around 1.10-11, also I run no front overhang, and times are off the front wheels, a car with overhang has a 24" head start on the clocks (58' times) so I never compare or compete against other peoples 60' times and I tune for the top end to hit the number
