8 3/4 back brace - 08/29/11 10:18 PM
I know this has been beaten to death about what power will a 8 3/4 take, but i have a question about how much strength a back brace will add to it.
i have a 68 cuda rb stroker 543 with a 4 speed, 8 3/4 with 3.23 and a 3.91 center chunk. If i back brace my housing and don't launch hard will this rear end live for any amount of time? I have small street licks so i don't imagine ill have much traction, but i ran out of funds so my dana will have to wait till taxes.... does anyone know if a homemade back brace will add enough strength to the lil guy to make it last a few months??? no power shifting, easy launches, and my throttle cable only gets me about 60% throttle, so that should help too!!!
Is it realistic to expect it to live? mainly street driving.
