My car is a mild cam car with boltons, so I'd say right at 400 to the tires (at MOST). I installed a Moser 9" with 4.11s. After the break-in, I took it to the track. Did a minor burnout, full tire pressure on my 315/35/18 Toyo Proxes TQ drag radials, and launched at about 3k and snapped the driveshaft. Take it for what it's worth. It now has a Strange 3" Chromoly driveshaft, that is holding up so far ![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
