Since the car has made it into the 10 second range and shows potential in good air to go even a little faster come fall, I have contemplated then need to get the axle tubes welded and some support work done. I considered the CHE rear axle housing support bracket but it will not fit with the current relocation brackets I have on the car. Further when inquiring CHE chose to never respond to my email request so therefore I haven't felt the need to follow up via phone because I would likely have a pretty piss poor attitude with regard to their lack of service. So that said and vented...
Could I get some advise from the 9-10 second crowd or a suspension driveline expert who have obviously been at my point in their full weight cars on this topic?
I am running an automatic setup with stock converter for now, full weight car. The car sits on 305/45/17 MT ET street R series that are fresh. I have been making consistent 1.6x 60's at the track. Ran 10.91 @ 127.5 best last week. BMR suspension mods and Lakewood 50/50 shocks. IF more detail is needed let me know I am at work and up against break being over.
I have two local places offering to do the work, one of which will cut me a break and allow me to come in and help him do the removal and disassemble to keep the cost down and to get some hands on.
The big question is whether or not I need to do it at this point or if I am still "safe". The last thing I want is for an axle tune to spin and jerk me into the other guy. Jerking me into the wall is bad enough thought. I def don't want ot take out someone else.
