Had the same tru trac for 5 years now, 16s to 9s, 1.41 60fts. I have replaced gears once in that time and broke a stock axle recently because i tried to make 18lbs off boost on foot brake, hydroboost held it, something had to give. The last time swapped gears, i did solid pinion shim, and added studs to bearing caps, and I have the B&M girdle cover.

what axles are you running?

those stockers held some power for a while then. I would rather be proactive though

For my education, why might slicks put less strain on the drivetrain than radials would?

I thought it was the opposite. I always thought slicks break shit cause they hook better.

for sure more strain than a street tire, from what I know the slicks will absorb a lot of energy and have controlled spin to them. To make a radial hook, it needs to pretty much dead hook which I feel would shock the system more. a hard nitrous hit off the line would be worse to me than turbo, or manual car dumping the clutch would be harder on things than a stalled auto. I was leaving off foot brake and 6-8lbs on slicks so I was just saying from my own views the axles would have been fine. |
