904 race builds

Update on what I have, 78 case, steel planets and their parts, 4 drum with the five thin plates, flat type pump, TA forward pattern VB, deep pan. Dynamic 4500 Converter hub is being changed to the flats type.
Sounds good to me! I ran 9.70's with nitrous and lots of street miles in a 3400lb car with a 904 that had pretty much what you described, but I never changed the pump lug style. You don't need shafts, cases, bolt in sprags, or a billet drum with what you are doing. The diameter of the front drum in the 904 requires a lot more for it to do the 727 grand kaboom...but a blanket doesn't hurt if you are still somewhat concerned.

Just my experience.
