Boom goes the......

It was totally unheard of until the aftermarket did away with the low band apply.
Engine speed needs to exceed 6000 rpm in first gear with a failed sprag and no low band apply before the cast drum comes apart. The drum will spin at 2.2 times the engine rpm in first.
Test have shown the stock cast drum to come apart at 13000 + rpm.

Some of us don't make enough power to start a burn out in second without a line lock or water or both. LOL

Then if you cannot do a 2nd gear burnout, you probably shouldn't be using a 727. The bottom line to me is, the low band apply is useless as tits on a boarhog. If the big rule is to do 2nd gear burnouts, you don't even have to worry about low band apply, cause it ain't applied in 2nd. Yall keep on believing the bullshit and spending your money where it's not needed, instead of having a little common sense and not using 1st for a burnout. A fool and his money are soon parted. I would spend the 650 bucks on a billet drum before a low band apply VB, simply because I will not be doing burnouts in 1st. If you're running something that cannot smoke tires in 2nd, you probably have something that cannot pull a greasy string outta a cat's *** anyway.
