you and me both espically in this forum, Thank you everybody and your comments, I have had a couple people come over and look at it, it has richmond gears and they look heavy duty, there are scars on the spiders and the ring gear but my buddie said the pinion is set real deep into the ring gear, wich is a good thing, the wear we see may be normal racing wear, my pocket book wont support anything else right now so I am just going to clean eveything up real nice, use a good synthetic with the proper additive ( any suggestions there) and run it till it breaks, if it even does break, in the future I want to back half the car and run drag tires 15 or 16 wide, so until my pocket book can afford that I will run with my fingers crossed for this season. I am running on the car MT street drag radials and with the clutch pack in the rear end I am hoping that those 2 in combination will take exseive stress off of the gears.
