There is one in the Camaro. Car has been 10.0's with it. I feel pretty confident in saying it could take plenty more. That thing seems to be bullet proof. The one in the Camaro actually came out of a F550 originally. Once it service life was done in the tow ruck we bought it, got a new adapter, cleaned it up and have been runnin it since 2001 with NO issues.

My engine builder Jim Kilpatrick has one in his GTX, I dont know et, but his car made over 700 at the tires and I know he abused that car when it came to showing off!

Takes everything a 600 HP hemi backed by a 4 spd can dish out.....I'm very happy with mine. I doubt a Kessler setup would have lasted this long.

My 69 Bee with a 511 inch wedge went 11.748 E at 115.98 mph with my GV. The Bee has AC, PS, PB and full interior. It’s a heavy car. I love my GV. I don’t know the exact HP, but would guess between 550 and 600.

A guy here in town has one in his 67 Firebird. He uses it on the track when he runs nitrous as he runs out of gear. Its been 10.0s and he said its the best shift the car makes.

Got one in the 68 charger , car weighs over 4200lb with a dead 10 et , GV say these are good for 1200hp , @ what vehicle weight i don't know , i've always been worried the GV is the weak link.

They can actually modify them at the factory for up to 2000HP and they will still give you a 2 year UNLIMITED warranty and they don't care if it is in a nitro dragster...

yea Russ took us to town for beer and showed us how it worked then went out on the track and ran 11.74 through the mufflers everything hooked up save for no air charge with some small BF drag radial tires! LOL!!
Cool Ride!
