Transmission shield or tunnel cover
The 727/904 is a good trans ,the problem is not at high speed but in 1st gear the rear overrunning clutch could be damaged from the shock of the burn out or even broken rear end , dont ever do a burnout in 1st gear , use 3 gear . I do first dry hop in second gear to make sure tires or dry th400 has the same probem . Get the csr sheild or a blanket , metal sheilds have problems with shift linkage . Blankets tend to hang low under trans
Have yet to see a 904 explode like a 727..drum size is alot smaller..
You can start your burn out in 1st gear...and shift into 2nd...but do not come out of the water in 1st gear...
Dry hops went out with Disco music back in the 80s...
From Turbo Action instructions for cheetah manual valve bodies....

All water burnouts should be started in second gear and shift to third if necessary. If you should
start burnout in first, shift immediately to second before tires come out of water. No matter whether
it be second or third gear you are in as you come out of the water, you should start to deaccelerate
engine or do a power burnout directly to the staging line being sure tires never grab dry pavement.
The power burnout provides the best E.T.s if no dry burnouts are done. No matter if you have a
tranz brake or not, we suggest not doing dry burnouts!
