Tim Sloan at Sloan Racing Engines built my 360 Magnum at the beginning of last year. Set a couple of J/CM records with it, won two championships, and have over 200 runs on it this season alone, granted, primarily 1/8th mile. Haven't even added up what I put on it last year... probably another 150 runs. Planning to freshen it this winter 'just because'.
I did blow the ring & pinion this year, which took out the trans. I bought the car almost 3 years ago, and I believe the rear (and trans) was in it for several years before that. I had the transmission fluid & filter changed this winter, and everything looked perfect.
I *did* go through two sets of radials this year, though.
