Default tail housing help

i have seen them break or sometimes leak out of bolt holes. i was told that the reason is the suport bolted to the housing needs to be relocated to the body/frame. after doing this no more broken housings and in most cases the cars launch nice and straight.

i am not sure what causes that. My torque arm has always been on the tailhousing and no problems. At the dyno, I do ease off the gas at the end of a pull instead of snapping off the throttle. i have a bmr adjustable torque arm with the stock bolts mounted to the stock 10bolt
