It's actually been done before with good success. It helps keep the axle tubes from walking forward under traction and pulling the ring gear away from the pinion, which is one of the common failures in the 10 bolt. This guy was putting about 500whp to the ground in a 3rd gen and did basically the same setup, although his build was more involved with Moser axles and a few other tricks. To my knowledge, it is still going strong and he abuses it at the track with 4K clutch dumps on drag radials. http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/tr...f-10-bolt.html I posted this link earlier in the thread but you may not have seen it.

It def isn't flimsy, not to mention LPW makes some of the best girdles around to begin with, they are known for that. One of the biggest failures in our cars is the spider gears, but that is because of the axle tubes flexing as said above. Welding tubes &/or putting a brace on the tubes to keep them solid and not flexing under hard acceleration would be a good way to spare those spider gears.

I've been beating on it for a bit now but I won't know for sure how it's doing till I throw some drag radials on and use it the rest of the summer. Reason why I'm doing this is because I have a bottle here waiting to go on with a 150shot as well sooo I kinda want some extra backup on the rear even though I won't be spraying in first.

We appreciate the initiative fccs. Go beat on it with some drag radials and let us know how it holds up!
