I run a JW case and bell. Works for me. Took them both up to JW for the recert and they treated me like a king. Way better than a blanket or shield...yeah, JW stuff is a little heavier than the others, but not enough to matter.

I've been racing with stock cases with blanket from Rossler for years at 9.0-9.1s - what are the advantages other than strength. Never broke a case or anything.

Never broken one myself ,but have seen done. Never had major surgery or heart attack,but still carry insurance. In door car may not be biggest issue.In front engine deal like roadster of my case FED its huge. Door car still has trans beside you just little more hidden unless its in driver compartment.

Hoping to get either Reid,ATI or FTI two piece soon. Have JW now and man it is heavy.Will shave 20 lbs between case and bell.

Was told around 15 to 20 lbs depending on application. But it is thick case where my feet are.LOL

Last time I checked, and it's been a while, there is only about a 10 lb or less difference. JW is heavier though. I think a complete long tail trans with Reid case comes in at 108lbs (ish), and the jw at 115(ish)....Again, not 100% certain

me either. Differance maybe in BBC vs Hemi on bell. Case would be same but still HEAVY and while its brackets and every .005 don't mean crap,it does to me.Too long running heads up stuff I guess.Plus according to old 100=.1,10=.010 .
