Default good bye right side half shaft!!!

well i think my 408 has some power, the first street drive i really punched it, it broke my 295 bfg drag radials loose in first and second and i found out today it also broke the right side half shaft witch is usually very hard to break, so im kinda happy and pissed at te same time she's def got alotta power but now that rear is coming back out ill get some vids up soon for you boys

Half shaft or diff output shaft? Either way congrats on the new power.

I'm sure he's talking about the diff output shaft. Nonetheless sounds like a beast of a motor. Congrats!
