I seriously hope you arent as big of douche in real life but i doubt it.
A 1 shift race? Almost every roll i have done starts in second and goes through 4th.. thats 3 gears, 2 shifts and 40-130(ish).
The point is that we're actually looking for a CLOSE race. Close races are more exciting and usually you get that from a roll because there are less factors at play. This isnt a goddamn dick measuring contest with money on the line.

FYI....I did'nt know that anytime a turbo and or stroked and turbo stuff was built that there was a budget.....ya'lls budget must be a little bigger than mine.
It has been rebuilt to stock with the 24th reluctor and converted to wet sump.
Yes.
I was referring to those ignorant people, the ones who think weight isn't a big deal. Those guys are usually the ones who have a mediocre running car, instead of a car that runs above the rest.
Lettuce be cereal here, our cars weigh a **** ton. Notice how HIOs car runs the way it runs. He's done alot of tricks here and there to drop weight, but hey at the end of the day look what it traps and E/Ts.

All joking aside. I don't really do it just for acceleration. I do it for overall performance. This car stops and turns like a champ.....the best 4th gen I've ever been in by far. If I were worried about acceleration that much I would've already put a cam in it. Once my next round of parts go on it will be about 30-35lbs lighter.

Never ever seen a 10 bolt break an axle-usually housing,ring pinion damage from housing flex. I think you may have axle hopped when you broke yours looking at vids but tough to fell.
8.8 axles suck with any kind of tire upgrade and bolt ons with a fox and a stock, and when the car is heavier than a fox you better upgrade as first mod if you drag race. Upgrade to 31-33 splines/carrier and you are good to go

ive seen quite a bit of sheared axles out of 10 bolts. My buddy let his gf drive his h/c/4.10 f body one day... she twisted the axle letting the clutch out too hard and bogging the car... 10 bolts are absolute junk and should not be in these cars. Lets not defend GMs screw up lol

I've seen 2 8.8 axles break on pretty slow cars.....like 13sec fox body's. I've never seen a 7.5 axle break....other than mine twice. Maybe is was just bad axles for them, but most of my ford friends tend to wanna change them out.

and your last comment just goes to show stupid your arguement is. you build YOUR for all around performance. Another guy builds HIS car for something else that HE enjoys.. Now since HE built HIS car different from YOURS, its all ******* wrong.
FWIW my ten bolt twisted an axle before it killed the diff. Girdles make a big a difference on those POS's

my build cost less than if i wouldve put AI heads on it, a ported fast and 1-7/8 headers on it like i wanted too. not to mention i wouldve sprayed it, but that woulda put wayyy more than what ive spent in this turbo build. Either way i needed a fuel system too. Turbo builds are not that expensive if youre smart with your money..

Did you build the turbo get up yourself? I been sayin for years they aren't as expensive as these kits suggest if you can do it yourself. I am capable of building one, I just don't want one for this car.
Most 10bolts kill the diff and ring gears before the axles....or atleast the ones I have seen. I killed 2 sets of 4.10's and never hurt the axles. A buddy broke the diff but the axles were fine. My axles broke not twisted and so far they have been the only ones I have seen or heard breaking.

Notches car went on the dyno yesterday to the tune of 341rwhp and 355 or 359 tq....still with exhaust mani's on it...lol We got her goin pretty good. I think with headers , tune and ewp we can get it to upper 360's. That would pretty good for a bolt-on car. It might need a fast to get to up 360's.....but I think it can. Yeah his car runs real good.

Just some parts I have lightened and some strano springs which are lighter than my Hotchkis springs.

I don't know what the stock springs weigh. My car came with the slp eibachs on it.
I think with full bolt-ons notches car will see 11's. I don't know how deep because of the 10bolt will be holding his holeshot back some. If he does all my tricks I think it could trap 117-119.
