We are in the process of adding a supercharger and the appropriate gauges to our 57. I have the opportunity to add a positraction (twin-traction?) rear as well. Would this be a disireable option to add, or is it not worth the expense and effort?

It is absolutely a REQUIREMENT for Drag Racing. If you ever do that, you will appreciate it a lot, if you do not, maybe it's just bragging rights and you get to add that COOL Twin Circles TT Emblem!StudeRich

Originally posted by S2Deluxe View PostI believe there were a few '56 Golden Hawks that were equipped with it from the factory, but for the most part '57 was the first year it was available as an option. While exsisting cars that were originally equipped with it from the factory are unusual there are many that have had it added subsequently. It does reduce the amount of wheel spin under severe acceleration. However, it does also slightly reduce a car's ability to hold corners on windy roads.

Unless you are doing winter driving or drag racing I would avoid the installation. '57 GH's are desirable enough that the day will come when a potential buyer will turn it down because the TT is not on the production order. I agree with SN-60 that your money could be better spent. But I also take offense at his incessant need to tell others they are "WRONG!..."; about TT, about DG transmissions, or whatever else disagrees with his experience.
Ed needs a chill pill. Opinions can be expressed without raising hackle by exclaiming, "WRONG!!!" Simply relate experience and let the discussion do the influencing.Brad Johnson,
