Your car is one more to add to the list that I have seen break axles, rears, tranny's and wheel studs etc. when they swap to MT DR's from slicks or DOT slicks. Those tires bite hard and don't wrinkle as much and cushion the blow like bias ply's do. They often cut quicker 60's as well.
Glad you guys and the car are ok. Another 5 mph faster and your quarter panel may be re-shapped

Do you know what carrier you have Kyle? I have a 4-series in mine which means 3.73 is as low as I can go...

man it would of been bad on the freeway.
Sheered all 5 ARP wheel studs off this afternoon....
Tow truck guy and my Buddy Chris and my wife really helped me out. car is home in the garage.
New axles with 5/8 studs have been ordered. Thanks for those Joe.
Only downside is the 2 week wait.

2nd, i run those studs in my car. your making me want to change them!!!!!
how did that happen?
WOW, that picture brings back memories. except this was AT the track. it really does make you think. launched and they all broke. thank god it wasn't 50 ft further. These were 7/16" ARP studs in the moser 9". Glad to see you are safe! I had my axles drilled out to fit 1/2" studs, but shoulda done the 5/8" like you guys. This was only a 460rwhp 6speed car. 6500 clutch dumps though

Brad just from the power and launch's we guess...... car has only been to the track 3 times.... Id be leary of them if i were You. I know Harlan had to change them on his car when he was running 10.doh's back in the day.

What ever she will take.....
Like Harlan stated that last pass had 155 or so in it.... bouncing off the rev lim the last 150ft or so....... and thats at 20 psi.
Harlan and JZ seam to think this turbo is good for 6 or so psi more.....
Only one way to find out..... It is rated at 1575hp........not like thgat really means much
Ill be pulling the axles tomorrow..... this really has me thinking.... i know i need to learn how to really control the car as it sits now but why take the cover off later..... should i do the gears now..... thats what im thinking to myself...... plus it will be even more stret friendly even with no overdrive.
