Default hypothetically
If I were to launch at about 5,500 RPMs on DR's grab with no slip and my gears,rear,axles,clutch, and driveshaft held up. What else could go wrong? Just trying to get an idea of what else I may have to do in the future as to not completely *** up my car.

The factory driveshaft and torque arms are these cars break with alarming regularity. I would say they would be the next components in your list. Bob
