Works good in my junk with absolutely no issues for years...Maybe I'm gettin by with it cuz I'm slow and only go low teens 60' and 4.70's to the 1/8th at 3250# on 275 drag radials !!


Dam Gary what are you running for a power plant?

You have to be making around 1500HP to run those numbers. beer

It's a X275 legal car !!

Indy blocked 588 with B1 originals...Single cast intake & spray !!

Engine makes 1050hp n/a and we race it @ 1400hp to 1600hp according if we're running limited X275(.036 jet lmt)or at a reg race...In the Limited class in Texas we run up front...MOPAR KOS races we're the record holder and the car to beat !!

Pretty impressive Gary! I use Red Line synthetic in my dragster. Keeps the temp down when being hot lapped.

I used to us ATF+4 but my powerglide would slip (400 rpm flare) when I shifted into high. Changed to JD hydraulic fluid...no flare. The JD fluid stinks when it gets hot. I switched again to type F....no flare and no stink!!

I always used the "red" stuff from Mikes Transmission out of California. Great stuff.
