Went to the track and Kabooom........

[rcn4him]

Most of my performance mods in my sig where completed in the last two weeks although I bought the car new 2 years ago and it only has 6000 miles

I've gone to the track only twice stock with a best ET of 14:05 at 99mph
with a Magnaflow Cat Back.

Well.......I finally got to the track yesterday and thier was alot of VHT down,
launched at 4K and the car moved 6" and destroyed the rear end

Thank God I have a disc brake rear as the caliper was the only thing holding the drivers wheel on as the wheel was wobbling with at least a broken axle and probably a destyroyed diff as the car will hardly move.

My kids loved the $170 ride home on a flatbed though

ouch!!!! i guess launching at 4,000 is not the best idea for stock rear/DS. sorry bout that man. my deepest symapthy

Get a new diff and some 31 splined axles. The last time you wen to the track did you have the DR's? Sorry to hear about that, at least your wheel stayed on.

Well, now you can make it better and stronger!

hate to highjack but: is there a performance difference in the 31, 33, 35 spline axles?

Nothing to gain but piece of mind!

What kind of power can each spline axles usualy hold? Like will 31's hold up to around 400HP etc?

 

[GTvert01]

That sucks

BTW, I went 11 flat with my 66 Fairlane with a 150 shot of Nitrous a few years ago with stock 28 spline axles. That car went a whole year and only had about a 1/8th twist on the axles.

Yikes...I guess it was the fat DR's.
Sounds like you got a nice car man.
Put her back together, stronger this time and lets see some numbers.
