Default Re: Differential heater

I don't know if what I do works or not, but it makes me feel good about it. Here goes. I run 1\2 quart synthetic auto trans fluid, 1\2 quart 50 wt. synthetic racing motor oil, and 1 quart synthetic 80\90 gear lube. We put over 100 runs on a 6.20 gear before changing gears. Mostly 1\8th mile. A stick car leaving at 9,200, weighing 3040 lbs. The only thing I see that's changed is we used to get about 150, to 170 runs on a nodular center section then an aluminum through bolt. Anyone ran into that? Makes me wonder if the nodular might actually take less drag because of distortion. I never run it low.
