Update on 1st gen trans. After a year or so, with over 200 1/4 mile passes the trans let go. Was trying to get my 60 foot times down. Lowered the tire pressure to 12-13psi. 16-22 psi is what I usually run. The lower tire pressure and the 6000rpm ( up from 4000rpm's )launches last night did the poor thing in. The axle is hanging in there still. I really feel the 1st gen stuff is good for allot more power then beleived.
