Default Too much gas off the line?

*I posted this in the drag racing section but figured my nitrous bros. might have some tips too.*

So I went to the track last night and tried leaving on a 300 shot and these were the results. What I think is the cause are the u joints. The driveshaft was pretty beefy but I don't really remember being specific about the u joints when I had the driveshaft cut and balanced. Maybe I forgot to mention it would be used for a racing application . I'm going to get a new driveshaft and solid u joints is this something I'll have to keep worrying about or do do I need to invest in a progressive? Couple of weekends ago I left on a 200 and everything was fine.

Just trying to determine if I need to leave on less gas or if the u joint was just the culprit and if a heavier duty one will rectify this problem.

Beef up the hard parts and run it. It obviously hooked and wanted to run. Car looks good.

Carlos,
You should be able to leave on 300 no problem. Obviously the torque is going to show you your weak parts.lol

The heavier the car the harder it is on parts..

you want non-greasable joints in the drive shaft.

May end up replacing them every year or so, but doesn't leave a void to fracture.
