I think you guys got the gist of 9", its an awesome piece! Just buy it or keep on breaking you stock stuff, lol.
Vman - appreciate the vids and your ballz.

Chris - Making more power and torque and from very early in the RPM range. Please make sure the Oklahoma kit includes the strong goods.

Don't worry lads... There will be more track proving videos to come from a maggied car very soon. If a T-56 output shaft is to be broken you can bet your sweet asses it will happen to me.

sounds good man and you cannot go wrong with Chris and Gforce1320 because as you can see he backs his stuff. I like to launch hard and I intended to find the weakest link and I did so now you guys will get the beefed up version for yours too .

Can't wait to see your vids!

Let me please say that this was the first time that I have ever taken my car down the 1320 so the first pass was just a shakedown run to get a feel for the 4100 lb car since my last car was a Viper.

Here are the two vids. Only made 1 pass then it broke on my and I had new MT Drag Radials 2. I just got the vids today and after watching the 12.7 pass it was really crappy and I just rolled of idle and hit the rev limiter in first so I definitely think I could have shaved another .5 a sec. or more off my time with more practice and those high rpm launches. The second vid shows the breakage. It was going to hook hard and I shot the rpm up right when I launched so it sucks that it broke on me . Oh well, it will be stronger then ever now. You may want to skip to 40 sec. for the 2nd vid to skip the vette.

here is the slip for the 12.7 vid

Straight up... you left the line with bog too...

A full on "f it all" launch and no rev limiter bumping and you've got a high eleven or deep deep 12 second car.

I'm foaming at the mouth...

It does kinda suck to know that my setup in an fbody or vette right now would run 11's easy.

No, I cannot break the axle, CV or diff IMO I broke the outer stub that was built with the rear. Chris w/Gforce is going to replace both sides for free today and use 4340 steel this time instead of chromemoly.

The outer stub is only 30 spline on our cars but he already sent me the 4340 harder steel and my car is up and running already, thanks Chris!

We were discussing if we could put in a Z06 spline for the hub which is 33 spline so he is checking into that too but he says the 4340 steel is a LOT harder material.

Let me clarify that the rear is worth every penny and mine was the prototype so you are going to have to improve the first design and he is or did already, lol. Thats why I was your ginnie pig

In the process of the cradle drop currently in my garage.

I got my 34mm-1/2" drive socket in Monday, but the Axle spline nuts are being bitches. (Doesn't help that I can't lock the drive train by putting the car in gear either.) I re-attached the calipers and wedged a screwdriver between it and the cooling duct in the rotor. Gave it my best and....

Broke the screwdriver.

I have a friend with a much bigger compressor and a 1 inch impact gun we'll probably give it a shot this weekend.

You'll know I'm making progress when my for sale thread goes up. I've got LS and V parts running out my ace in the garage. Need to sell off some things and see if I can make enough money back for an 8 rib kit.

Making me even sadder now is that the V isn't capable of moving in the freezing cold air to take advantage of the HEX and IAT's.
