Well guys it was the plantaries, I crumbled them suckers good.
Called Marco at Abruzzi racing and he qouted me a price of $175 plus shipping for the 1.76's gear set or $900 for the "better" straight cut 1.80's.
He said same thing as alot of you that at my HP level I'm pushing it with 176's but that he wouldnt be afraid to run them again, said they have about a 1/2 year life cycle in race trim so he said it was time for them to go anyway, no biggie. I had 2 full seasons on them.
For now I'm gonna low ball it and go with the 1.76's so I can get back to racing and save up and get the 180's later on.
