If you put your car on a chassis dyno, will the transmission and rear be able to stand up to the engine?

Why is Patrick so depressing all the time? You should have been a safety inspector. I hear the FDA is hiring.
Why does Rodney need twin paxton's? What a show off!
Chas, it hasn't been 3 years. I think I drove it in 2011. I can't recall. |

Well, I don't know a lick about the Kirkham rear.... But, if that was going through my (even) upgraded ERA outboard braked rear, either the half-shafts or stub axles, or both, would say sayonara.  |

I remember an ivory colored Kirkham with a blue interior on eBay a few years ago.
Seems like it was supercharged and the Paxton superchargers used ATF for lubrication.
That is too strange to make up. It made me think of Bill Cosby at 200 MPH.

Chas - I inquired. I'll probably go that route but may need a temp fix also (cutouts, little scoops ).
As for the double rollbar, only one person likes that idea...
rpatton3 - Yup. There was an ivory Kirkham on eBay with racing livery and screen, dual Paxton, etc. And they do run AT type F.

That's a valid question. As far as I know there are no plans for a chassis dyno. You know, I haven't talked to Tom about that. I have a TKO600 and Kirkham rear end, so already there's a discrepancy.
In the real world, I figure the low weight of the car will be in my favor in this case. If this were a 7,000 lb car I would certainly see it being a bigger concern, no?
Opinions?
Rodknock - I didn't know Tom did your engine.

I remember this thread from last year. Drag slicks & Jag rear and the slicks won.... Stub axles for '76 Jaguar rear With normal tires I would think you would just spin, but surely you would want to know the rear wheel horsepower numbers after going to all this trouble? |
