Thanks Prof. Gohr. Now will you cut me a Christmas clearance deal on the 280 block? I have a complete Drag set up, less block, that needs a home.
Well, it's been almost two years since I initially asked the question of NR versus ratcheting gearcases, and I am glad to say I havent had any problems with the NR case due to the NR design. I did buy a Geiger Tec carrier though and when we installed the carrier we found that my keyway was beginning to eat into the gearcase, so it is a good thing that I decided to upgrade it. One word of caution, though: my exhaust system on my 225 Super Mag was stock, liner and all. The increased thickness of the Geiger Tec carrier cut down the exhaust flow and gave my motor an extreme case of COPD. I ended up having to take out the liner and drill 10 holes in the mid like a 280 or Mod VP. Now she is back to running very well.Old thread but here goes. Would a NR gearcase help or hurt or have no effect at all on a bat turn situation? Scenario: SS/2.5 running very bow high in a near 100 speed and chopping throttle.
(I've never run a NR case--so clueless)
The Geiger Tec carrier uses a long key, so I hope this stops the problem also.keyway can be fixed--drill bit and metal dowel--did mine a decade ago--still running--no, I'm not talking about pinning the carrier
