Re: Ring & Pinion Lube
I have a question or an observation,If you want to know how little friction you are creating--why not mount a EGT in the rear and hook it to a data-logger so you can get a play back and look at the run and then make changes.

Re: Ring & Pinion Lube
You can buy paint or tape kits that register temps.

Or, you could just watch the MPH clocks.

Back in the early days of Pro Stock, Bob Glidden fabricated a small sump like kick out in his rear end housing that had a bung welded in it for a heating element similar to a water heater, only smaller. The heater was plugged in between rounds to keep the gear oil up to temp. That was long before synthetic gear oil was up to speed.

Re: Ring & Pinion Lube
If memory serves me right I believe I saw Larry Hill laying on the ground in the staging lanes at Indy one time heating his rear end with a propane torch.
