or an even better time would have been after your 6th pass lol.

I think I'd feel proud to break an axle at the track. My friend has this mid 80's impalla with a 650+hp motor with another 250 shot of juce and got beat by some talon and the guy came back to laugh at him for loosing. All my friend said " it's because I made enough torque to snap all 5 wheel studs on the passenger side of my car" the other kid walked away knowing he should have lost.

well i believe i make around 360 poines and then i have 150 hp shot of juice. maybe around the 425 rwhp on the juice. i snapped a axle so i would say its possible with that kinda power.

I snapped an axle with 220hp and 285tq.

Just way too much traction... lol

 

[jackchan]

traction plus power = snap!

I have my mosers in from UPS but not installed yet. Tech article coming!

stock power with stickies will send them to a grave

Yup My second pony 89 hatch, with just slicks on it at the track, the tenth pass yeilded a snapped axle.. doesnt take much if your hooking up hard.

Im hoping my new setup will last.

Auburn Pro w/ 3.73's and 31 Spline Moser Axles.

I think the after market axles are made way better than factory, plus the extra splines. I have the strange axles, 31 spline, No problems so far...

 

[jackchan]

I'll be "stress testing" the 28 spline mosers soon....My axle was broken on drag radials on the 7th pass....so I must have had it hookin pretty good!

 

[86bluecobra]

i think your new axles will not disappoint. they should be more then up for the challenge.
