Exploding Torqueflight

dusterdragracer,

So what if you are doing a burn out on the street w/o water...can you give some advice on how to do it ?

First off, "if" it is a stock auto then you should pull it in low 1 as this apply the rev band which assist in holding the shaft, that is the duty of "over riding clutch"(one way clutch , sprag......what ever term you like.)

If you have one of the early revers manual shift valve body, like i have, you don't have this option. the rev band does not apply.

The factory sprag is real a tough unit. it take a major shock to kill it. such as braking the drive line, rear end busting, or possibly a tire spin in 1st and then grabbing hard a full throttle. the more power you have the bigger grip tire, the better chance of it.

With a factory eng combo it would be almost imposable to brake the sprag with out a drive train failure. aka broke axle,pinion, drive shaft,exc
