Bullet proof A833?
I street drive my face plated a833 often during dry weather. We also attend an acceleration contest 5-10 times a year. Usually weekend deals where I run the car to test Friday and then run the rest of the weekend in competition with other like minded enthusiasts. Typically I will make 14-20 passes over a weekend if the car and I are seeing eye to eye.
It has an all aluminum 18 spline a833 with 9310 face plated speed gears from Liberty. Clutch is a Ram powergrip HD with a modified clutch tamer. Most recenty I have gone 1.63 60' on an unprepped surface n/a. Car is much faster with nitrous. Tires are 235-60-14 M&H muscle car bias ply street tires. We run about 13 psi in them. So far everytning has looked good in the transmission during annual maintenance. You will find that the face plates are HARD always look new. The typical/intended wear item is the 1-2 and 3-4 sliders. They are also HARD . My fist attemp at dressing the slider clutching lugs killed an expensive file. I found it much easier to dress them using an indexer to position things in small mill.
Tire shake/chatter really messes things up I can tell you that. I killed the rear bearing inner race from rattling the drivetrain appling the nitrous too quickly on the progressive. Also killed the rear transmission mount getting a little over the top trying to dry out my late at a no prep deal. Came out of the slop about 60' mark in high gear and shook the tires. It takes a bit to do that as the shocks are set full stiff for bottle throttle.
I suggest calling Liberty and getting on the waiting list for a set of 9310 18 spline face plated speed gears. If not that route find a G Force g101a or call G Force and drop 6k (with shifter). You will easily drop 4-5k building an all aluminum face plated a833.
My next dumb idea is to rollerize my tailshaft. Should have stuck to wood working!
