Default RE: Drag racing

You should post your times. What were your RT and 60 foot times? How about trap speeds? These will tell you a lot on how to improve your runs. As far as snapping a half shaft, that's the risk you pay when you don't have a solid axel. I would actually try some traction bars; four link or slappers. All depends on how much you want to invest in running drag races. Next time you race go ask the Terminator (03-04 Mustang Cobra) guys what they are doing for traction. Those guys are always breaking output shafts.
