Granted I have always had a built trans. Maybe I am stupid, who knows, maybe I have just been that lucky???

That's why. This is what typically happens to a 4R OD band when left on (courtesy of TCCOA):

So how do you explain the fact that my setup has been fine?

The only guess I have is that my tuning has been that good?

Because like I said I do this all the time with no issue.

I got my transmission built by Lonnie at BOC at a time when he and Darrin used to build them (yeah it was that long ago). I have a "stage II" TC from BOC that I got at the same time (10.25").

I get the photos you are showing me, but I just haven't had that happen. And trust me I run my car all the time. I have gone through two motors because of other issues (first wasn't built and boost got the better of me (Cameron knows what that is like) and the second was bad tuning (fried the heads)), but this has all been on the same trans and rear diff. I did have my tail shaft leak one time this year and had the bushings replaced.

Anyway, I want to make it clear I am not saying you all are wrong, I am just giving you all my own personal experience, not what I heard on the internet.

I quoted you and put the important part above that in BOLD. :D I'm rebuilding my trans to take 1,000+hp, but, still will not put it in OD when WOT. I'm sure it will take it, especially with the heavy duty Kevlar OD band, but, just to be safe. :beer:
 
Yeah, well guess I have just been living my life on the edge... But I don't own an Edge TC, so I can't say I have truly lived on the "Edge", ha ha ha I love puns...

:)

Rich (nth10s) burned an OD band up one time IIRC correctly, and I believe all that happened was it went into OD one time when he didnt want it to (under a lot of power). I just know when you change gears in an auto, you want the clutch packs in the drums to eat the punishment, not a band.
