They bracket race so they car about consistency more than ET. My guess is that the PG should work just fine behind the 572 and it might be a tad bit more consistent since it only has one gear change.


900 hp, 572 CID will have plenty of torque to get that car moving with a PG.
I highly recommend the aftermarket case (with bell). All the guts should be aftermarket at that level, so there is some choice of 1st gear ratio. Like a straight cut 1.80 gear set. And the Turbo style input shaft with matching converter.


I agree. I'm going to recommend that they get a quote from their transmission supplier for a PG. They'll have to make some changes to the car to fit a PG but nothing difficult for a race team. New driveshaft, shifter and crossmember should cover it. I'm assuming the Mopar starter will bolt right back in if the case was built correctly.
