With the occasional torqueflite explosions we hear about I've got a few questions. How much rpm will a stock front clutch drum withstand before you have to head for the bomb shelter? I know no one can give an exact RPM figure but has anyone spun one up on purpose and a machine to see what they'll take?
I should be heading to the strip with my timebomb in June sometime. I've been shortshifting it at 7000 rpm and may try some different shift points but I'd rather not blow a tranny. AND YES, I'm running a Lofgren trans blanket just in case. AND, I've got the low band apply in 1st. Dave
