Sure grip 7 1/4 strenght?
I had it behind my 273 Commando for one summer. It held up. I was an open 2.76 ratio. I had 255/60 14 tires. Since I already had an 8 3/4 waiting to go in I drove that 7 1/4 very hard and had no problems at all. Had it at the track etc. Anyway, I do feel al lot safer with the 8 3/4 that I know can take any abuse. But surprisingly that little 7 1/4 held up.
Good luck!
