Before I start, the subject question is rhetorical....but....

A few mths ago I got talked into buying a “Race” 727 with rmvb from a well known commercial trans company.

I wanted to go with CRT....but international shipping was just too much with our dollar so ended up going to a local retailer and buying a RMVB from CRT and billet servos from a seller on here.


Unfo my upgrade strategy didn’t go far enough....

A guy I know just had an issue with his “race’ trans, and on inspection, we found a lot of ‘heavy duty’ components simply weren’t included....which is kind of surprising as the company claims the trans is good for 800+ HP.

ANYHOW...my question is this.

If I change to a low band apply RMVB....how important is a bolt in sprag?

The motor will be making around 500hp at 3700lbs.
