went to the track tonight and......:(

[kovacs22]

1st run, real ****ty with a 15.00 et, second run decided to rev it a lil bit and *BAMMMMMMM* can you guys guess?

 

[artificial HP]

axle failure

 

[AirWolf87]

clutch!?!
....i dont see a bolt on 99 breaking axels.

 

[kovacs22]

Lets just say that the adive i was given "your gonna need an 8.8 in there" was some damn good advice...my first run was real sloppy, had a slow start, almost thought i was in 3rd gear.....so second run came around...dry hopped the tires, staged and this time reved to about 2,500 rpm to try to get a better start...car went forward about 6 inches, then the loudest hardest sound came from down below....luckily it didnt blow through the cover....but man....its smoked..........so where do i start now guys?

thanks,
ryan

PS- got a vid of my first run and my rear end goin out if anyoen is iterested....

 

[kovacs22]

oh and by the way, to update my sig. i now have shorty headers, billeet steel flywheel and centerforce dual friction clutch.......

 

[AirWolf87]

ohhhhhh. thats right! i didnt pay close attention to your sig.... yep no way that v6 rear can take the tq. If i was you I would go to a salvage yard, pick up a whole carrier assembly for under a grand and bolt it up. while you have the carrier, throw some gears in the rear end and go try that **** again.lol

 

[AirWolf87]

BTW....would love to see that vid.lol

Dam im sorry to hear that man, but god never intended a 7.5 for a v8 , but nosing around a junkyard fora 8.8 could be a good start.

 

[kovacs22]

oh yeah, the 8.8 is definately going to be under there b4 long, just gotta find one for the right price and yes...gears will be in mind......but yeah i do have the vid but i dont know how to post it. ??

yeah just ask the f-body guys

if you try a salvage yard try finding a v-6 explorer 8.8 i believe those already have 4.10's if not a 94-95 GT rear is good. they are slighty narrower and allow a wider rear rim/tire combo on 99 stangs.

 

[AirWolf87]

lol almost every ls1 owner i know has scattered his rear at least once. Gatta hand it to ford, ****ty transmitions, but the 8.8 is almost bullitproof.
