Rebuilding my 727 over the winter. Since I run a stock drum, I bought a transmission blanket to keep things safe. I can't believe how heavy this thing is and it certainly seems that it would hold heat. Will it be an issue on longer drives? It's a Chute Metal Products blanket.
Is a blanket overkill at my power level (approx 510 hp)? And are they all this thick and heavy? The 727 has a low band apply manual valve body and will have a bolt-in sprag. Runs a stock 4-disc low drum.
Thanks for any productive input you may have.
