Default How fast until you broke your 7.5 rearend

Wondering how fast some of the people with 10 bolts on here....yes i understand 9inch way to go same with 12 bolt but i do know of a few stout 7.5s out there that have seen 1.4x 60 ft just looking to see how hard you have either 60" or how fast you gone in the 1/4 mile

Depends on the transmission and how much power the car makes.

A turbo automatic car is probably that canidate for the 1.4 which I am absolutely sure is a fully upgraded trans, not stock.

If it be a m6 car, it can spit the teeth out on the street.

It never ends...read the stickies at the top

mine broke on et street radials on the street, destroyed them on a 1-2nd shift, them ripped out a pinion tooth on a highway race. People that seem to have luck with their 10 bolts always seem to have the money for a 9" and are simply testing the limits of the glass jaw...now people that are on a budget...break it by simply starting the car.....


Mine saw a 1.91 at the track

I've cut 1.69 60's with mine without any issues. I'm praying it stays together this summer when I get the car together since it will be in the 11's and cutting quicker short times.

This past weekend I went 11.115 and cut a 1.57 60 foot leaving the line from an idle with the spray coming on at 3000 rpm. On the next pass I lowered the nitrous window to 2800 and left the line with the converter stalled to 2000 rpm, the car left hard as **** and about 5 feet out the rear end let go. It sheared the teeth off the spider gears in the diff. I am pretty sure had it not broke it was a sub 1.50 60' pass and probably would have been a 10.9X ET.
