The Richmond gears hold up quite well when set up properly.The pro gears are softer and usually used in 4 speed cars. A C/SA Dart with a 440 running 1 sec under should get a good 4 seasons on the street set.The pro set might be mush by then. The street gears can be softened a bit with good results, resulting in the best of both worlds. If the gears are not set up properly, as is typically the case with the 8 3/4, the extra money is wasted. Paul.
