Has anyone broke the rear center section?
Is just upgrading the axles enough?
Whose axles to get?
Anyone swap a 4L80E in yet?

Is there any upgrades to the diff?
I doubt it will see much sticky tire dragstrip abuse.

650 RWHP

Hendrix axles
BMR trailing arms
Launching on 315-35-18's in the back.

No issues with the center section & with the Hendrix axles if she starts wheel hopping, I usually just pedal or drive through it, been pretty hard on the dif so far, best short time 1.60, but I'm inconsistent, on any given day I can be any where from a 1.9x to a 1.6 short time. Me & this car still haven't come to grips on how to launch consistently, also my local track is nick named the Ice Rink if that gives you any idea of what I'm up against.
