also, the rear is running 30in tall mickey thompsons, the tranny is a 727 with a shift kit and manual valve body, and the engine is putting out over 500 foot pounds of torque.
I like Lucas 90 wt. The climbing lube. We use it in the funny cars and it works great there too. Just because the R&P failed big time last week, it wasn't the gear lube fault. haha
ok so you dont need friction modifier either. I'll probably go buy it tomorrow. The only other stuff I've found that has been recommended (cause I do like to punch it a lot on the street) is Redline Heavy Shockproof Gear Oil. I dont know if I will need it, I haven't been to the drag yet, but I do like to slam the pedal as much as I can.

well it's not bad actually, I just dont drive it in the rain (which I wouldn't do anyways) and I dont break the tires loose around corners. I stay cautious of uneven parts of road and just pay attention. The full spool isnt my first choice for a street car either, but this 9" came with it and I haven't been able to afford the swap I want to do. The weight savings is nice though, and not having to worry about a posi going bad is nice.
I've had mine in a big HP and big tire car for 6 years and never any problems or axle related breaks. Most of my customers that are doing a big HP car request spools and no problems with them either.
Granted these cars are driven to cruise nights and around town on nice days.NOT what you would put 10K miles a year on. However I do like to use at least a 35 spline axle also.
I agree. The only horror stories I've head of is when you're already cruising and you gun it around a corner, get sideways and then your tires bite and the car flips. I dont know if this actually happens but I've heard it.
