Pro gears vs street gears

-
I have, obviously was told by the sales rep at Strange to not run them but I did and they have been fine. I guess what his warning was that they are softer and so will wear much quicker and ultimately fall out of initial adjustment and become noisy too. I was ok with replacing them on a more frequent basis than regular gear sets if needed be for the extra assurance at the track.

How many miles did you get out of them?

They have been in for a year so far and I would guess 7-800 street miles so far and a few dozen track passes......no issues so far that i'm aware of. Obviously I would think for someone to even consider a pro gear they have a pretty healthy ride so I doubt that you would see 5 or 10 thousand miles a year on them. I even know of a friend that ran them for drag week and didn't have any issues either.

I knew the Drag Week guys were doing it. I suppose if you have to change a gear set every two or three years the pro gear would be worth it. I’d rather change gears than break them.

Are they already set up in a rear end? If not I wouldn't order one for a typical 10 second street/strip deal.

its a new S60.. but i think he said he had a set of pro 4.30 gears laying around.
I street drive it, but don't go on long jaunts, too worried about having a flat, etc, etc.

going to this S60 will make me more likely to put bigger headers on it, and likely a Victor as well. Wouldn't have considered those upgrades with the 8.75
 
D60, use street gears and forget it for 15 years.
