The thing is, while they may not look all that strong, its not really a big deal bc there isnt much force on them. They application of force against them in minor in the grand scheme of things. The u joint cap sits in a recess which is what gets applied drive power. And btw, your 10 bolt will break before they will

I know stock ones on a 8.5 10 bolt are good for about 1000 mid 10 sec passes. I will add a couple of hundred more next year.

I went with the Moroso girdles. I feel much better with these VS stock straps. Just the piece of mind alone is worth it IMO.
