Look SS run low 13's with less hp and more weight and break into 12's with slicks.
Give it time
Show me the time slips and I'll believe it.. I'm still a believer in that the tranny won't be able to handle the power, Quaife or not. There are too many parts of the car which aren't equipt to handle this kind of abuse. Running slicks is just asking for trouble.
[QB]From Gary Mumm's site:
"We had a problem with the teeth of the gears stripping. We're making good power and on hard acceleration, the weak link was the gear teeth. Here you see a stock gear stack on the right...compared with the custom gears we?re running shown on the left. If you look closely, you?ll see the teeth on many gears are a LOT thicker. BTW, this was a very expensive -- and difficult -- conversion."
"12/10/01
Bluntly, the weakest area of the car so far has been the transaxle and axles. We?ve broken several axles and transaxles. The majority of our problems have been in this area. The pictures below show some of the work we?ve done to get the reliability up."
they were running like 300 hp right? IIRC there custom gears were something like $5,000!!!
