My friend Kenny (sgcuda) went 9.90s in his 70 cuda at about 2900-3000 pounds. He's about to go a lot faster than that w/ it later this year. He has to try and catch me anyway. CHIP

I broke 3 A-833 tranny's back in the 1978 to 1982 era when I bracket raced a 340 Dart. It ran a best of 11.90's @ 113 and like I said I broke 3 stock 4-speeds. I was hard on them as the pedal was on the floor when the clutch came out and it stayed on the floor until I lifted after the traps. I loved racing a 4-speed but I am glad my heavy 63 is an auto as I know I would break stock 4-speeds if it had a stick in it. Ron
Just curious were those the cast iron or aluminum housing?

Making the A-833 live while racing is all in the clutch. Period. It has less to do with weight, and ET then it does with clutch setup. i broke plenty of stuff in mine with a stock type clutch. Once I went with a Soft Lok the parts breakage stopped.

I`m still kicking around the clutch choice for my GTX,how hard does a "street-twin" hit compared to a Centerforce DF? As far as durability on an 833,just like evertything else "your mileage may vary"
A street-twin is very harsh. When I tried a street-twin, it took out 3rd gear on THE FIRST PASS, my trans had just been rebuilt and pro-shifted by Liberty (15 passes on rebuild).
Try calling Tim Hyatt, he is a great guy and is in N.E. Ohio. 440-254-1311
