Just another opportunity to upgrade. Now lets see how many 6000 RPM launches it takes to twist an axle! tongue.gif

LOL! Nice. We did the same thing, with the same symptons in the mustang last Friday (it has a thorsen diff in it). 1.5 60's on drag radials in a 3800lbs car will do that. smile.gif

 

You need something other than a thorsen diff. Like a ford 8.8" solid axle. ;):D

Got a S4 TII clutch type diff.. As strong as, and identical to, a Kaaz. Drops right in and is rebuildable also! :D

 

Installing solid poly diff. mounts as well.

THATS A GREAT IDEA! That way when the welds break you DIRECTLY into the wall! I wouldn't ever even willfully go down the track next to a car that had welded spider gears and ran anything faster than 14's. Not to mention on a IRS car it would destroy CV's in a few hundred miles.
