    Screwed up my rear gear install, need opinions

    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...

    Broken spider gear

    Awesome. Tru-trac it is then. The arp fasteners sound like good insurance while I am already there. Sent from my iPhone using the svtperformance.com mobile app

    Broken spider gear

    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. Sent from my iPhone...

    Broken spider gear

    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...

    Need help, wheel lugs

    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. Sent from my iPhone using the svtperformance.com mobile app

    BMR DSL010 not for aftermarket exhaust...

    Yes the BMR construction was very nice and I was excited to add it to my build, but it looks like I will be going a different direction. Thanks for the post letting others know about the fitment issues. [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using the svtperformance.com mobile app

    BMR DSL010 not for aftermarket exhaust...

    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...

    Carbon Fiber vs Aluminum driveshaft

    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...

    Carbon Fiber vs Aluminum driveshaft

    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.

    Carbon Fiber vs Aluminum driveshaft

    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 :( Sent from my iPhone using the svtperformance.com mobile app

    Carbon Fiber vs Aluminum driveshaft

    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.

    Carbon Fiber vs Aluminum driveshaft

    I'm sure that there is a lot of info on here somewhere for the difference, but I sent the driveshaft shop an email yesterday and got this as a reply. I thought some of you might find it useful. "Either one would will be a significant upgrade over the stock 2-piece driveshaft and work well for...

    Potential weak links left

    Yes the aluminum does save a considerable amount of money over CF. Around $400 to be exact from what I have been pricing And the 2.5 would push the boost to 12-13lbs? it was 8 stock and now I see 10-11 with the intake /tune according to the stock gauge) Is there any advantage to the twin fan...

    Potential weak links left

    I will definitely order a couple extra bushings. As for the driveshaft why aluminum over CF? I have been looking into a smaller upper and possibly a 10% lower pulley, I just wanted to get the suspension down before I added any extra power. I have never head of the brace for the axle. I...

    Thanks gtbite98 I didn't even think about the diff. I didn't know how much power it would hold. The clutch is going to be questionable. I should probably replace it also. Sent from my iPhone using the svtperformance.com mobile app
