Okay, So one of my ring and pinions has been extensively lightened. I mean I've never seen anything like it. Half the bolt holes are machined away. It has 5 instead of 10. The backside of the ring is machined so it is concave. It is super light.
The question is, is it okay to run something like this in a high 10 second street/strip car. Maybe 3300 lbs and with roughly 560 ft/lbs of torque with a C6 auto?
thanks,

What would the torque numbers be with low gear and converter multiplying?

Bolt it on to one of these:

Made for roundy rounders. I don't think I would ever try drag racing with a spool like this or a ring gear lightened as much as you mention. JMO
They also sell some super lightened gears: https://www.quickperformance.com/Ford-9-Ring-Pinion-Gear-Set-Scallop-Cut-Extreme-Ultra-Light-Weight_p_20467.html

Maybe if the ring gear bolts were left hand thread?

I don't know. A lot. I have a 2.46 first gear. Converter would likely be around 3000 rpm.

Yeah, I think you are right. I will try to post a pic later today. Those super lightened gears are cool. The 4.11's I have in my 9 inch now are like that.
