2017 BUYER’S GUIDE power to Sonnax 1.58/1.65 planetaries for great run after run with minimum downtime. SMART-TECH® RATIO- STYLE SERVO KIT SONNAX 800-843-2600 www.sonnax.com B a n d fa i l u r e s , b r o k e n s h a f t s a n d staging issues have plagued the Powerglide for years. Engineered from the ground up to pre- vent every servo-related problem, the Sonnax Smart-Tech® ratio-style servo advances this capable transmission to new levels that back up extreme horsepower with never-before-seen reliability. It’s top-quality, all-in-one kit packed with track-proven features that sets the new standard for elite Powerglide racing. Eliminates pin bias effect, prevents input shaft failure due to tie-up on shift, significantly lighter spring prevents staging issues and backing up when trans brake is applied. Delivers more total net apply force than any stock-sized servo. Sup- ported servo design stops piston binding. Allows greater tuning of high clutch apply to prevent tire spin and pedaling after the shift. Ends need to calibrate servo return spring to line pressure or varying case depth. coatings provide a solid slippery film on high revving parts to provide protection. Oil attract- ing coatings hold oil in metal when oil film thins under heavy load. Permanent thermal coatings protect pistons from heat destruction. Exhaust coatings capture heat inside pipes for addi- tional power.

Lubricating housing features a 0.375” thick face plate and triangulated design that improves rigidity and superior tube support, which increases overall housing stiffness. The housing tubes are fully welded to the center and further reinforced with radial gusset plates on the inside of the hous- ing resulting in less deflection and straighter launches. The Ultra Fab housing is available in a variety of configurations to accommodate any racing application from bolt-in street applica- tions to purpose built race cars. Strange Ultra Fab housing…because better matters. Strange Engineering, the leader in driveline and suspension for over 50 years, is proud to introduce the new Ultra Fab housing to its line of rear end components. The ultra fab Ex p r e s s S l e e v e s a r e e x a c t ly w h at our customers have been looking for. The easy to use sleeving is a combination of a high tempera- ture insulation material to a highly reflective My- lar foil with a hook and loop closure. The sleeving is designed to provide maximum protection for wires, hoses, and cables from the very damaging Issue 126
