Wade, what will live in a foot braked 283" stocker won't necessarily live in a trans braked SS car. When I pulled that spool out it had .004" run out. Jerry Hass was with that Hemi SS car because he built it. Not only Pro Stock cars.
I have talked to others that made only the light spool & ring gear change as I did, and nobody found any gain. I'm usually between 1.29 & 1.34 in 60' with the steel spool, exactly the same with the lightened ring gear and aluminum spool.
