the clutched rear is ok if the track is in good shape but if one side is slick I have seen them burn out in about 15-20 runs. This is what i have seen not saying that they cant hold up. It all comes down to if you are over powering the clutches all the time more of a issue with drag tires and axle torque not a crank HP issue.

track loks SUCK. the auburn is useless and the true track sez right in the advertisement its not made for 350+rwhp applications. whats left? thats why i went spool. it may Suck ass on the street, but no matter what happens its both tires. and even if you break an axle your getting home. But thats me. i can see 12.5:1 running on pump gas. i have 12.2 and if i get around 200 degrees coolant tempt it starts to ping slightly under a load. hasnt happened sence Dons tune. maybe the tune was the problem But it happened none the less. so wen is this thing gunna be burning some tires?!?!?!

Correct. That's a Wolfe solid rear swaybar that will be welded on soon.

It's allllll in the tune. The head gasket choice will give me the final number but we'll be pushing the limits of pump gas on purpose. This should be a pretty radical setup.

The money tree is only so large and grows only so quickly, but I think we'll have it on the dyno and street-testing come summertime and getting it to the track by fall.

Don't forget that I need at least an 8-pt cage with a convertible at 10.99, so I'll be modifying my 6-pt bar to be legal before we go down the strip.

My run of the mill Eaton has held up fine for 6 years, and I know of another eaton with upgraded clutch packs holding over 550RWTQ on a 421. Alot of it also has to do with the driver and the suspension.

It's definitely cammed for the strip on purpose, but I'll be driving it to and from the track and taking it out on weekends/cruise nights/etc. Should be a serious head turner when I start it up!
