Interesting stuff....

My main source of info is my dad, who's been doing this for 40+ years on the same car. His 23 spine trans doesn't have any go fast parts in it (regular syncros). He's never broken a trans part ever. That's using a non-slipper clutch (Centerforce Dual Friction). He relys on the tires to spin at the line a few revolutions, and he powershifts every gear all the time at 3900lbs and runs mid 11's. Very impressive!!!!!

I hope to have the same "LUCK".

My clutch will probably grab even harder than his but I'm about 600lbs lighter. Same stock type 23 spline trans.

I'm sure the clutch is a killer on these, as is the tires not slipping. If things don't slip, the week link will be found. That being said, I plan on having a FUN street car to play with at the track a couple times a year.

I really can't wait to get this thing together!!!!!!!!

I wonder what kind of clutch setup Herb's car had? Did it slip or did the tires spin when racing? I'm sure the trans was a crash box and not a dual purpose trans (street).

Keep the info coming guys!
