A friend has a 34 element spring in his turbo 400 and it has worked flawlessly for 4 years in his 70 Chevelle running high 9's which isn't crazy fast but the car wieghes 4070 pounds with him in the car. He drives the car on the street alot and it only has a 3.70 gear with a 29" tall tire. It has a 515" iron head BBC with a 300 shot right out of the hole. The trans has a stock valve body with a shift kit, blue clutches with kolene steels and the 34 element sprag and is otherwise stock with a PTC 3200 converter.
