Broke my rear end. Pics...

[Boozshey]

So looks like the rear couldn't hold up to a 4500rpm launch and the tires actually sticking...

This happened yesterday after my 11.3 run at 124mph. I had launched the first run at 3500rpm and wanted more out of it. So the next run. 4500rpm. Bam!!! Broken shit.

Today I pulled the old rear end and replaced it. Now I have to get some 4.10's put back in, but at least the car was only down for a day.

Slicks + 4.56s + 6,000 rpms is gonna break something or Im gonna run fast.

My guess is the rear or trans....my trans is aching already.

 

[Boozshey]

Nah, I think you will be fine then. Unless you launch on the bottle.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

On a serious note, are you going to put in an eaton diff with the 4.10s? diff Axles...?

Sucks to hear that it broke.

Are better spider gears available for the 8.8 rear? I'm sure they are but where would I find them?

 

[stkjock]

If he is gonna upgrade, then he might as well do the full thing with a locker or tru-trec system.
