Yikes! Make sure you get those new gears set up right.
Remember two things for a long life with a 4spd. Get rid of the wheel hop! The slapping is much worse than you think.
And always power shift if your running it up on the rpms. That means, don't lift that gas peddal off the floor when shifting under a hard launch. When you "granny shift" you slap the power back and forth on the teeth in the tranny and rear end. Much more damaging than keeping the power on one side of the teeth.
Think of it this way. Take a glass and put a 40lbs weight on it. Now take a glass and put a 4lbs weight about a foot above it and drop it.
Which one will break the glass first?
