Yeah. Obviously it isn't the only weak part. LOL

I don't think I have seen anyone break axles except heavy suvs. I think you will be just fine, looks killer.

i cant help to laugh at someof your post

he will be fine...as long as hes using a strong carrier, gears, etc. the G80 really gave the 10 bolts a bad rep. in higher HP apps, when you launch, (and IF it hooks) the axle tubes will want to 'flex'(the outter axle tubes) and that will break something. with some bracing, good carrier, and properly setup gears, a 10 bolt CAN live

I have drawings already done for a 9" IF we break this one. I can guarantee you it will hook so we will see.

on the gmc, i am running a stock diff with a Eaton locker and stock axles with leafs and caltracs...it been a best of 1.40 of the foot break with 12 psi launch and 1.37 off the t-brake with 8 psi launch...dont want to leave harder off the t-brake as i feel it will let go

the chevy has a Fab 9 with ladder bars and 40 spline axles

For Blown06:

since you've had the entire dash harness apart, maybe you could answer a question for me.

Is the power door harness/wiring loomed with the rest of the dash harness or are they seperate? I am trying to determine if I need to swap an entire dash harness when I convert to power windows/locks/mirrors......or if I can just transfer the needed wiring and pinouts to the BCM and door harness junctions on either side of the dash.


thanks for your time
