Just read Sparkey's post and not wanting to change the subject but I don't think a lot of people think about the power it takes to turn a differential that is filled with cold 90 weight oil. Also over filling either or both the tranny and diff with to much oil.

I use Kluber ISO Flex NBU15 high speed spindle bearing grease. Pretty expensive and you don't get much of it but they do include a nice syringe and assorted needles so that you can inject a small amount of grease between every roller (or ball). I then use a small dab on a clean cloth to wipe over the outer race on a roller bearing. Back when I was doing machine tools this is what we used on our high dollar spindle bearings, good for over 10,000 rpm.
I have seen guys that run the ceramic ball bearings run ATF and have gone over 200.
It all depends on what the bearing load is and the RPM.

Wasn't thinking like that Sid.  The Quickchange didn't pump any oil into the wheel end area.  The GM 7.5 will likely though given the way it is designed.   I'll have to keep an eye on it and see how much oil gets pushed out there.

maybe some people will remember Ugo, when in 1998, he brought his models to salt, during the Speedweek.

this small group who produced so models became very small...especially when it becomes to record breaker on 2 or 3 wheels.
