Spool or Locker?

AJ/FormS said
I ran a spool on the street with 325/50-15s. One weekend cured me,I'll never do that again. I swapped a cone-type into there, and readjusted the turning torque to 130ftlbs from the 120 that I run with 295s.
I saved the trac-Loc for the 4.30 track gears.
But I only have 400/430 hp.
Yes I really had several chunks at the ready at all times. Most are now sold, with the largest now 3.55s. I run the 3.09-833, so it takes off like 4.10s. I'm good with that.
That spool was great at the track tho, and no spiders to shatter nor pin to launch. I guess I should sell it as I haven't used it since about 2004.

While were on this kick: I ran a spool in a 2440 pound vega, w/ an approx. 600 horse 406 sbc in it on the street. Even got caught in the rain driving to work one day , which was 28 miles each way. It can be done successfully, but u NEED TO KEEP UR HEAD SCREWED ON STRAIGHT !! LOL------------forgot, I had 14x32 m/t street slicks on it too,, slicks w/ 2 grooves in each tire.
