[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 7285542, member: 11681"] If you are going to bullet proof your IRS, You will want to do the full Delrin and Aluminum bushing up grade PLUS the Billet Flow diff cover brace. [SIZE="3"] [B][COLOR="Red"]Delrin here --->[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE][url]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=260665[/url] [SIZE="3"][B][COLOR="Red"]Diff cover brace here ---> [/COLOR][/B][/SIZE][url]http://www.billetflow.com/irs_brace.htm[/url] I have both, yet I don't drag race any more. Wheel hop DESTROYS the relatively thin diff cover, which also doubles as a diff mounting point. When (not if) the rubber diff mount bushings allow the diff to twist and lift the pinion snout, it unloads the tires and then the diff moves back. This happens rapidly and wheel hop is the result. The diff cover brace allows the diff loads to be spread into the main "diff chunk" and not the thin cover. My wheel hop is GONE. I decided not to risk just using the, more complete, "bushing solution" by itself. The cover brace is a well thought out, high quality AMERICAN made product, that is well worth doing, even if you get serious and do the Delrin too. The Ultra high torque, serious drag racers, will usually run a bullet proofed 8.8 stick axle, but the 8.8 IRS can and has been modded to handle BIG POWER and STICKY TIRES. [/QUOTE]
