I used to run one, in a big block 2350-2400 lb car (depending on ballast for track conditions), approximately 600 hp (and likely more torque than a similar hp small block). I probably broke a gearset a season, racing 1 or 2 times a week. Originally I was using a 1.82 for my "regular" trans, with a 1.96 as a spare and for high-elevation races. After breaking a few 1.82's and eventually breaking the 1.96, I switched to 1.76 as a primary, planning to run a 1.82 for elevation (but never got around to having it built). Still on the original 1.76 after a season, will see in a week or so if it still works.

Regards,
