Stock casting or aftermarket casting?

Can we see aftermath?

Wow, that's pretty impressive on a 6 bolt set up!!!

To me at least...

It really shows the power going through these things.

Is it just power alone that broke it, or do you believe there was some other event that lead to it ?

mine is a 10 year old casting non hipped. We make over 1600 to the tire so I think the new hipped from TEA will make a big difference

That sucks but at least you are getting taken care of Scott.

I think you jinxed yourself in that other thread where the guy was asking if Hipped was needed or not and you said yours weren't and no problems yet . Lol
