Drag Race Build KRATOS V2

[TeamFury]

Like I said the csf is installed I’ll see how it goes if not no big deal I'm ready for the other set up.

Nothing wrong with experimenting, like you said if it’s not really being street driven and has good shrouding I think you’ll be ok.

Yeah I got other things to sort out

I’ve still been playing with transmission pressures, I’m hoping tonight after some more valvebody changes the pressures are where I’d like to see them. Went ahead and through a diff locker in, this I have no idea if it’s going to improve anything at all but willing to give it a try. Also the new rear billet clutch basket has arrived. This is a re-incarnation to Jeff Bush retiring his program for the auto dsm world. Super excited I was able to get one and no more worrying about a cracked basket at the splines anymore. Back in December through a normal conversation with Jeff I brought up the input shaft and he said he actually had one sitting in the garage so I went ahead and purchased that off of him. The circle d bolt together torque converter should be done by August and with kiggly bringing out straight cut planetary gears we are well in our way to a truly bulletproof transmission no more weak links left. Now if someone wants to lend me $2+ k for Magnus billet tcase gear set . Boost on

I would really recommend against the "diff locker" unless you have extra carriers and spider gears. It presses the spider gears against the sides of the diff and the washers that sit between the spider gears and carrier wear out quickly and then will damage the carrier and gears. I run one of those devices in my dirt track car. It does help with traction on the dirt but wears the washers pretty badly within 1 season. I replace the washers every season and have several spare transmissions so I'm ok with the wear but I don't think it would be worth it for most people. Just my .02

I’m going to give it a try for a tnt session then pull it out to check wear. If it improves my 60ft it will be worth it but I know the open diff is just fine into the 7 second zone. I appreciate the info though and will pay extra attention to it.

I tested a whole lot of stuff with the trans but something seemed off so I ripped the trans back out. Oh yes this is getting old. But the good thing is the new billet basket and the billet input shaft are going in.
