what do you guys use for a front drum in a 727
racing only and why and from who

Since your application is race only, you get to pick between aluminum and steel to get rid of the cast factory drum.

I have been running an aluminum drum from TCS with a smooth (no slots) red band for about 4 years and 600+ passes. I am very happy. I don't overheat the fluid or slip the clutches so my fluid holds up well and I change fluid and filter every 40 passes. The drum still looked good (minor wear) on the band surface during last winter's refresh. Another nice feature of the TCS drum is the replacable bronze sleeve that the rings ride on. More durable than aluminum and replaceable.
