what are the better choice of gears when running 750-800 hp motor? we always ran winter's gears before with 600-650 hp... but wondering if we should get something diffrent with a higher hp motor..

in all the years i have been racing and its been 20+ we have personally only broken 1 set and it was a very old set that had been run alot and they werent winters so i would say winters gears are just fine.. jmo.

The only gear failures I have ever seen, where caused by the rear cover bearing being bad or loose in the cover. Thats really just a maintenance thing.

a local steel block racer acquired a roush yates truck motor and stripped two sets
of gears but they where turning it 10,ooo rpms and the cheapers gears wouldnt handle
the load little gear was tiny also to achieve that rpm....
