833 Strength
it wasn't a first gear burnout, but thats not the issue. third gear burnouts in a 833 are the no no's. i also learned that the hard way.. :thumblef:
first trans i had in the car, it didn't have a slipper clutch that time.
833 is a great trans, just making the point that with a 700 or 800 horse car like the OP is talking about is like pissing in the wind if your gonna race it. i was told by the "been there done that" guys i was wasting my time. instead i didn't listen and wasted a bunch of money because i already had a bunch of trans parts laying around to take to liberty. i should have just saved for the right trans from the beginning. i see somebody else talking about doing the same thing i try to share my experience. i've seen guys go 9's on 833's, but there not doing it in heavy street cars. im sure if my dart ran 10.30's with a alum headed small block the 833 would probably be just fine.
you can make a soft loc live on the street if its built by a professional clutch guy. i've had mine on over 100 mile round trip drive's. just gotta tighten it up for the street use, and the metallic disk is a little noisy. still is a really cool clutch, i liked it. it was also another huge chunk of money but you get what you pay for. it'll go back in the car with a DR-4
