My passenger side axle broke this time out which is normal for me. If I had been running well I wouldn't have cared as much. This axle broke after a slight tire shake at approx 60' where the traction compound wasn't as thick and the track was slicker. I said all day that it felt like the track had a banana peel after the 60'. All it took was a slight bang and that was it. Now the entire rear is new and both axles will have been replaced. Whoopee! My best run of the day was 11.54@120 and N20 didn't help at all as the car hit every torque limit on shifts. When the car hits these torque limits or it detects slippage it completely shuts down for about a second or so. Arrgh...it is very irritating when it happens. If you have thoughts of changing the transmission fluid...please have a very good reason to do so as my transmission has shifted horribly ever since. It is bad enough now I need to shop around for a new 722.6.
I took blackbenzz for a ride Saturday he can tell you what he thought about it.

BIG +1 on that. After riding in Curts car I was ready to pull the trigger but then the diff blew on my car yesterday so thats where the money is going

We are having GREAT success with the High Torque Capacity NAG1's in the Chrysler Hemi's that are pushing upwards of 1,000 hp and torque (turbos, superchargers and massive spray).
The stock paper clutches just won't hold the additional power that some of you are putting in. We redesigned the problematic clutch packs with Kevlar clutches to take the massive abuse and modified other problem areas to the point where MB would not recognize these units. Eddie and I used 6 different high performance testers before we even released the units to the general Chrysler crowd.
Obviously, we wanted to have all the bugs worked out before we even thought about releasing the High Torque Capacity NAG1 to this crowd.
Thanks again for the kind words, as site sponsors, we will advertise these units more in the future.

Do you guys offer just a valve body modification? I already have a torque converter done. I am having a problem on my 2-3 shift (bounces off the rev limiter several times before shifting) and I think the valve body may help, do you?

I have no idea. I had a kleemann LSD in it. Probably gonna pull the diff and take a look inside tonight.

Mercedes ring gear diameter 210mm(Chrysler non-SRT) or 215mm(Chrysler SRT)?
Let me know specifically what is broken...gears, spiders, LSD, axle etc.
The valve body mods actually work in conjunction with the new Kevlar clutches in the High Torque Capacity NAG1.
Could Andy help you out with reprogramming the TCM to bump the line pressure / shift pressure and shift rpm?
Please don't tell me that your 2-3 shifts are taking longer that they used to....that means a new NAG1.

Had a great time, guys. I was a "all show, no go" participant as my car sat in the corner as I drank beer with my wife in the stands.
Weather couldn't have been better for spectating.
Can't wait till November.
