Snap!!
So had a GREAT night at the track!!!
1st pass, I left real soft, only at about 2900, pulled a 11.9, was pretty happy with it, so I wanted to see what I could really do for round 2...
That didnt happen!!! I got a GREAT burnout, felt like all the cards were falling in my favor for once, so I took her up to 4500, and let out alittle on the clutch to "load" it up alittle without letting her break the beams.. and lights drop............ and there I am beating the $h*t out of my steering wheel!!!
The little 10 bolt, with nothing more than just some motive gears and new bearings that I installed, held up for just about one year worth of punishment!!
Funny thing is, I snapped an axle, I was kinda expecting to crack open the cover, and see the ring gear in like 1000 pieces, or the carrier looking like a bomb went off, but no.. just the driver side axle pulled right out, with the c-clip still hangin out inside the diff..

I would rather, just go with a 9", or 12 bolt, so I dont have to roll the dice, but if I cant find a DEAL on one, I am going too see what a locker, and moser axles can really handle.. LMAO.. The ring and pinion are in great shape still, and I have done this all once before, but I know alot of people have broken atleast 3 of these 10 bolts before going to something strong. My stand point is that this is my daily driver, not my track car, I am buildin my lil Nova to take over all the track duties, and then I might take this out a couple times a year, next year, to see if she still has it, ya know?
