Reply to "How to increase the power handling of a ZF? (850 newton/meters or 627 foot/pounds)"

Easy, precise shifting and no ham-handed abuse or showy 'getting-air' allows higher torque without breakage. Jr Wilson shifted slow & easy in his SS racer and had quite a run of successes with a 900-bhp big-block racer. In the past, Lloyd has made up critical ZF gears of even higher-grade steels than Ford specified back in 1970, for racers who routinely abuse their cars. Note that these upgraded parts are still 'real ZF gears' as supplied from RBT. And a ZF cooler may be of some value in real 1-hr-or-more races.
