Unless you rebuild them using Torque-Lok sliders, you're guaranteed they will jump out of gear on deceleration. They are okay for a cruiser but I wouldn't put one in anything I planned on "driving hard".

...hence my surprise that for a car that was to be raced, a T10 was specified over a Toploader.
