Ive been racing my early Schueys in competition for years. The list includes Topcat, Cougar1, Cougar2 and Cougar2 works,CatXLS, Procat and Bosscat works.
The only real problem you
WILL have is with the diff. Its not that the diffs aren't up to the task but you realy need to make certain you are running the little 'dome' type spring washers on your adjustment screw just infront of the thrust bearing. The Cougar2 manual has no reference to these and I learnt the hard way. The diffs loosen off slightly, they heat up then the plastic outdrives melt with the heat and the diff hets so loose the car wont move. It took me ages to work it out but once I did I have never looked back.
Also you need to keep that thrust bearing clean as ever last bit of dirt will turn those little balls into a grinding paste and your diff will feel terrible. I started using a foam ball stud gasket and it works well.
