With sticky tyres trying to run a sub 12 quarter, a VL Borg Warner would in my opinion last exactly a few seconds. Especially in a manual. You might get away with it with a turbo car, or even a short stroke V8 but forget it with a almost 400 cube carbied |

Remember that those are lighter cars than a HK, probably narrower tyres and autos with a high stall converter. The HK quoted used to smash a brand new LSD 9" within minutes, mainly the clutch packs and planetary gears, but never actually broke crownwheel, |
