Yup, not really a racing trans.
I agree.
neither is the powerglide.
It's a way better trans for racing, way better.

So, was there a blanket on the trans? Just curious.
i would like to know also
sorry to hear about your friend
No...There will be a sheild when I get behind the wheel and the car is back togather. And I think on my two car I will have adjust for that as well.
At this point, I would bet the car will be running again before Paul is up and running again. I will call him today and see how he is feelng.
And to the guy that broke your femer, I read part of that story on how you broke it, and just cringed...I couldn't even read the whole thing. That had to really smart and I cannot imagine the recouperation...Ouch, and hope your doing better.

No sheild!!  and none on yours double . I have a couple of friends that think they don't need a Trany sheild. I won't get in their car to race it.I like to walk. 
If the MODS did their job I would not be hitting the notify MOD button. LOL

Yep,all the horror stories and this still happened  , But the good thing is you'll make the necessary safety precautions before "YOU" drive it, Sorry guy,what happened to your buddy is a well known fact and your responses have been rather nonchalant.

You still better put a good drum in it even with a low band apply brake.I would also put a&a's ultimate sprag in it as well you can't be too careful with your legs!!!!!!!!!!
God made cold beer,good friends,hot ladies and race cars don't spit in his face by pi$$ing and moaning about how life sucks!!!

I do, at 3260# with a small block, 6.57 in the 1/8, I think a powerglide would kill it. Do you use a powerglide in your dragster? When was the last pass you made in it?
BTW, mines not a race car, I drive it on the street too.

There is absolutely nothing "powerglide" about my powerglide. It just resembles one. 3000 HP and zero failures over 4 years.
