Thought so but good to hear the shafts are still OK ....what part of the d/s shaft failed? (sorry if i missed it in another post)

Now that i hear that if it were me i'd change the d/s, put a good cover on w/ an easy access drain plug, and for sure throw on a diff brace!

You can pick up a brace here:
http://www.billetflow.com/irs_brace.htm

I haven't been to the track w/ it on yet but i'm not expecting to feel any difference just having the piece of mind and hearing what happened to you is reason enough for me to have it on.

Also i would be sure to use a nice gasket out of gasket material to seal the diff as the shitty thin-ass RTV they use from factory seems to leak on mine even after putting on the brace and partially re-sealing it (once again did not expect the brace to stop the leak)

And since the shafts are good i'd leave them stock and just make sure that you're running some sticky tires to stay far away from any HOP.....besides if they fail they shouldn't be that hard to swap out and by then i'm sure you'll be able to find stockers to get you by that way you're saving as much money in all regards.

Wow...that would be over 800 mph if you u started the pass from a 800 mph roll. Wonder what that would work out to be in mph from a deadstop to the end in 1.1 seconds...damn

Rick what kinda launch were you using and what tires were you on?

-RPM
-Feather vs. Dump
-Tire pressure
-Burnout
-Etc.

About 4500-5000 (dumped),22 psi on brand new Nittos, a great burnout(if i do say so myself, I was worried about screwing it up and looking silly...more silly I mean ).

It was hangin' tough on the previous runs. I dumped at 3500 and it hooked and actually bogged the motor so I then got greedy and well...we know what happened after that

edit: Yeah, I just upped the timing abit and added some octane booster and it just went....felt like I was "beamed over" to the finish line ...We'll just keep this run our own little sercret, huh?

You guys are funny.
