Quote: Thinking about a transbrake for the Dart to help with my lights. Right now the car runs 11.30's @ 3000#, with a basically stock 904 and a 8 3/4 with pro gears and a spool. If I keep the launch RPM's down, will it live or will I start breaking stuff? A Dana 60 and a built trans is in the plans, but is a little while down the road. Should I wait, or will it be OK?
I've been using a trans brake since I build my car, the only thing I would suggest would be caps in the rearend and a back brace... I use the alum center 8 3/4 and a brace... with a 1.19 60'.... your right at the weight where I would think about changing the diff(to me its the weight that kills a 8 3/4)... I use a 727 but I know ALOT of guys using a 904 with a brake
