don't forget that being "on the brake" will send your trans to the moon in short order..... just food for thought.

I was curious as I thought you were very close to a 1.45 sixty already. And 1.47 is on par for your et. My best is 1.50 with the SS springs but I average about 1.52. Ron

Thump ,
I lost my 8 3/4 quite few years ago , love my S60 no more worries .
Hopefully a little more seat time , better weather and experimentation will help reach my goal . 1.45 sixty would be good

I know a guy locally with a big ol’ 67 GTX that runs a transbrake with an 8-3/4. Car runs mid 10’s and carries the front end. He says the car has always had one and he’s worn out gear sets, but has never “broke” one..... Wha’dya say, Dom? devil
