What is your 60 now ? I forgot but do you run Cal Tracs ? Ron Ron yes caltracs . Best previous sixty 1.47s Tex 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

I've always been afraid to use one w/the 8 3/4 but heard some pick up very well so lookin forward to your results after some tweaking....... 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 Tex 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?
