The vid is from last month but yea again.
At this point I am less concerned with making more power and more concerned about not breaking parts. I didn't talk to him about it. Changing axles at the track = no fun!

Thank you very much! 
To be honest I'm not sure exactly what kind of power its putting down. I can tell you that if it doesn't break it will go tens on pump. Best so far is 11.091 @ 124.57mph on bald 18" BFG drag radials so I couldn't launch too hard. That being said it was still a 1.62 60' Thats pump gas, full interior, and no nitrous (car has nitrous but I didn't spray). The car has run 1.55 60' times with the 16" CCW's and MT ET Street Radials with only a 1500rpm launch. Axles snap like twigs at anything higher

Thank you, yea it sucks. Trying to get custom ones built.
I'm scared to find out what I break next! I'm starting to think its better to break axles than something else... i.e. driveshaft, gears in the diff, etc etc

Exactly. They are drag radials. They dont sell high performance axles, so im trying to get some made. Also, the trans is already fully built with a modified torque converter and it has a quaife LSD in it I'm scared to find out what I break next!

Mods to the engine are Klemann twinscrew supercharger (autorotor), Kleemann headers, VRP cams (custom grind Schrick), custom dyno tune, and custom intake are the basics. And a little bit of spray that I rarely use. Car also has built trans and torque converter, Quaife LSD, custom heat exchanger, phenolic spacers, etc etc

Thanks for the negative rep for no reason. Unfortunately for you, since you have a negative rep yourself it doesn't effect my rep points. Please stay out of my threads, thanks. We will run into each other sooner or later
