I just toasted my TCI 1.96 planets in my glide. They had about 50 passes in my 8 sec SBC Vega, they were in a hardened 1.76 style carrier with a 4340 output. The carrier is even questionable, I will have to magnaflux it to tell for sure if its ok.
My point is this: The lower the gear set (more reduction) the LESS tooth contact area there is to support the power.... just like a ring and pinion set. So be careful how low you go. if you really need the low gears get a 3 speed tranny.....
