That is a lot of load on a trans. Earl is going to have his work cut out for him now.

Why not shiftable crash boxes? Didn't I read about those some where?

Sounds like something else is going on Bill. Too many guys I know have been smoking hubers lately. Whether behind a 600HP mill or 1300HP mill.

Did you lose fluid at all? Some guys have been blowing front pump seals.
