Default I want to launch hard.

Finished my heads and cam setup and I'm putting close to 400 at the wheel, probably more. But I want to know what is something good that won't break easy with a good launch with slicks. I want to launch at 3500 to 4k without problems or having to worry about breaking something. By the way I have an M6 with ls7 clutch.

M6 cars break parts.

You should be pricing a set of ET Drags.

Look for a Ford 9" rear.

Also price a aftermarket bell housing so if the clutch grenades, you keep your legs.

The Moser fabricated nine inch with a Wavetrac differential will easily handle the power. Bob

Yes indeed, there is a PST driveshaft at the bottom of the page in the options that will handle the power. Thanks. Bob

I got a Strange 3" chromoly shaft for $315 shipped from Midwest Chassis.. A good, more affordable alternative to the PST shafts

You could also contact Carl at CRP about a S60. It should be able to handle that kind of abuse. He can also get you the strange driveshaft mentioned above.

Im going with a Moser 9" 35-spline with wavetrac... supposed to be pretty strong.

Being youre at 400 whp, thats probably overkill for a rear setup, but hey... do it once and dont look back. And gives you room to grow in the future (500+ hp easy).
