Well I also messed my rear gear install up somehow. My 8.8 has welded tubes, pinion brace, moser 31 spline axles, solid crush sleeve spacer, eaton true track, ford racing 4.10 gears, arp carrier studs, ford racing diff cover/ girdle. Installed it all today. I got what I thought was a good...
Awesome. Tru-trac it is then.
The arp fasteners sound like good insurance while I am already there.

This is the first I have heard about the s-trac from strange. Apparently not many vendors carry it.
If I hadn't already replaced my axles I would be going with 33 or 35 spline. But since the car doesn't have crazy amounts of power I think the 31 spline will be alright.

Yesterday on the local 1/8th mile I somehow broke a spider gear while I was slowing the car down from a run. It started making an awful noise while slowing down. I stopped the car and got a tow back to the pits. The car has full rear UPR suspension, 28 10.5 slicks, carbon driveshaft, pinion...
I take an air hammer with a hammer bit to push the old one out. Then put the new one back in the hole, stack up 5-6 washers on the stud and pull the stud flush to the axle with a lug nut using a 1/2" impact.

I ended up ordering this same brace for my set up with the carbon fiber shaft. I have the lethal off road x pipe. It will in no way fit for the x pipe. Wish I had saw this before ordering or saw a disclaimer posted on latemodel saying may not work with aftermarket exhaust. The only warning was...
Thanks Tob,
That was actually my first step in this whole process, I read through your post on here about the stock shaft and all the research and development you did on the adaptor. So I did some digging and found wenstrom design on Facebook, I sent Tom a message and he said he would make them...
I am mostly worried about braking the stock shaft right now. A safety loop probably wouldn't be a bad idea but would it really be any benefit with a carbon shaft? I'm still learning a lot about these cars and drag racing in general.

I contacted him a couple weeks ago through email and he said he didn't have anymore flanges and wouldn't be making anymore until more people were interested :(

Have you been in contact with DSS over the issue with the carbon fiber shaft? That is the brand i was looking at. I just want to make sure when i do pull the trigger its on the best driveshaft.
Thanks.
