broken DS from last night

well, after running a personal best last night, my stock T/A **** the DS in about three pieces on a dead hook launch from 3k with STREET TIRES. i have no suspension work, still on stock 10 bolt with 3.42's, only mods are lid and cutout. how many of yall have broken the stock DS and how much hp were you putting down? i havent ever heard of anyone stock breaking the DS, and my mind is boggled as to why the rear didnt go first! im gonna pull the diff cover and the shifter so i can check for cracks and broken **** in the rear and on the tranny tailhousing when i get it home today...

the carnage...enjoy...

It happens pretty easily, although many have been lucky. The PST shaft that I sell is a great one to go with. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=541 Bob

twisting chassis will cause that. Get some subframes and LCAs.

you better check you rear end usually when you break a drive shaft its because some thing in the rear locked up. I have seen a lot of people break a ring gear set and hurt the drive shaft and transmission.
