Well I guess this is the 4th or 5th set but finally they fit. Now all we need is the driveshaft and this baby will be road ready. Should have a test fit shaft here ina few days.

For drag racers like me will this rear hold up to launches at above 4000 rpms? Given the clutch and driveshaft have been upgraded to handle it? I want 60' times in the low 1.6's or quicker.I had a 5000 pound truck that consistantly pulled 1.6's all day long on its way to high 11's.I am making 11 second power on motor, just can't get it to the ground!!!

I will be dropping the clutch and add NOS thru a progressive controller.

HP--motor only 505RWHP
TQ " " 475RWTQ

expected on NOS HP 605RWHP
TQ 600
I AM SICK OF THE WEAK *** REAR!!!!

The rear and axles will handle it. The driveshaft should. I am trying a 2 piece shaft in Parkers and my driveshaft builder swears it will live. Alot of the technology has come from Offroad truck racing and then has been upgraded on strength.

The next weak link is probably going to be the trans.

Awesome MADMAN, no compromises i see.... I have seen slider driveshafts hold some good power in offroad baja trucks and other racing trucks so it shouldn't be a problem...

honestly I think that is some BS. If there is any information about the status of a customers car don't you feel obligated to speak about it in detail? You would think after 6 months of dragging out a project there would be a lot of detail here...

AND YOU ARE??????????????????

Parker know what is going on with his car. He has been understanding and was told in the beginning that this project would take some time. Unless you can come up with a better solution and spend the time and money making it work then I dont think you have a say in this matter.

Goddamn Caddy owners have just about gotten on my last nerve. I have never seen such whiny bitches in my life. You guys want to cry when your rear end blows up. Then you whine that a REDNECK is building a solution, then you whine when it takes too long. Now you are going to whine when I say it costs more than $5.00. **** it.

I'm not even going to debate this with you. I just wish for Parker's sake that there was some small amount of remorse for the lengthy amount of time it has taken to complete this project.
Sounds like you are the one whining... maybe you are in the wrong business? I'm pretty sure if you had completed the job in a timely fashon you would have never heard any of this.

its called engineering. these things take time. they dont want to build a piece of **** that will be back in the shop. hopefully after this he will never have to think twice about dumping the clutch.
