Have had mixed results between SRG and VP. Because the grove has a diffrent groove location, I've found that some wheels will spin better on VPs. Recently, I was prepping a SS car with VP axles. I decided to run SRGs and performance improved. I do find that wheels on VPs are more prone to wobble because of the wider gap under the head. For what its worth.

I found the same thing, that wheels are more prone to wobble on velocity pros. SRGs were my favorite axle by far; however, I now have faster cars with the 93TXs than I do with SRGs. The speed difference is not significant, so it could be a result of an evolving prep process. Some day, I have to go back and re-introduce SRGs.

So many things to do; so little time.

I have not run test to compare SRG to 93TX but probably time to do so. The 93TX certainly dampens wheel wobble but it also presents more surface contact area due to the flat collar. This may have no affect on coned hubs. I think less wobble would deliver more consistent times. Again, time to conduct tests.
