Everyone calls the T5 good enough but where is its limit, will 430ft/lbs. of torque abuse it if you don't drag race on it? Same question for the "World Class" 7.5" rear.
Yeah,....Because there is nothing safer than a broken u joint that allows the drive shaft to drop, dig-in, and pole vault the car end over end, as opposed to a broken t5 as a "safety measure"@General karthief
Thanks, it confirms what I thought. If you're not aggressive with it on a roadtrack and you're on nothing wider than 245s, you should be good to go. I think 430ft/lbs. is about the limit though, I wouldn't put 450 through it. You could choose the weak link to be the U-Joints as a safety measure.

I think we can prevent the cataclysm you describe by periodically checking the u-joints for bending, stretching, etc. and by using some brackets/wire under it to catch the pole and eliminate that possibility while we're in test mode. U-joints are far cheaper to replace than any part of the T5 drive train and they're not likely to fail without some warning signs. Is using them as I suggest to gauge how much stress you're putting on the T5 faulty logic?

You're wasting your time here, @Noobz347 already proclaimed my efforts as useless so there's no point of discussing it any further, right?
