That looks pretty bad to me! For the amount of HP we are making I am totally surprised!  You best start blipping the clutch. Do you know what cluster gear you need. I just so happen to have one on the shelf, but I would need the tooth count to check it for you.

Rick It's a 3.09 gear set. I am working with Dan Brewer about another Liberty set. My 2.66 gear set had been shot peened and cryo treated. This 3.09 was not. Was that the issue or was it the shift shock? I am trying to decide which way to go back together. |

Got my Liberty parts from Dan Brewer. I will build the 3.09 trans over the winter. I want to have it if we can get a Slant Race on the calendar.

Lou, at least I know it will run the whole quarter mile and not just the eighth. |
