V1, twin turbo, 560 rwhp. he was maggied before at 500 rwhp
lol he has only been running 500+ hp on that car for several years, and a lot of launches at the strip on DR's. What are you running?
He didn't actually drop the clutch that much, just didn't feather it as much as he normally does.

Interesting . . with the axles.
I believe that because the V1's Diff is suspended from the top,
at 3 unequal and 2 far off centerline supports, is what contributes to its case failure.
The two rear supports, especially the right rear support is very far off 'centerline'.
During hard acceleration, the occillations and torque twist puts a hugh stress on these supports.
The further the distance from centerline the support is, the more movement is created.
The smooth right side of the case with less webbing to dampen vibrations, occillations, harmonics,
and the stress put on the 'way off centerline' right rear support during hard acceleration & torque twist causes case failure.![Bomb](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_bomb.gif)
I'm currently working on a way to have a 4th support.
I should be done within a week or so,
but I baby my car which makes me a poor test pilot.
Maybe a sneak peek in a week.
