Everyone should care about their 727 blowing up. The burnouts in question are when you hold still in the burnout box and do a burnout especially with a line lock. It allows the wheel speed to exceed engine speed and the overrunning clutch is what picks up a major amount of RPM and the trans goes boom. When screwing around on the street there is load on the tires and its harder to wreck the over running clutch. When you rebuild your torqueflite always use a shift kit with total manual control. A 400 hp motor should be able to annihilate the tires at will on the street. So yes if possible high gear is the gear of choice for burnouts. A&A and Protrans (Protrans makes A&As parts) make a solution for the overrunning clutch assembly.
