Yeah you may be thinking "That's impossible with this car" but I need it to be reality. What all will I need to be able to just smash the gas in 1st gear full throttle WOT going to 6K without breaking my IRS? Nitto/BFG Drag Radials? IRS Brace?

move to FL...add 95 degree day with 90% humidity nitto or some big Drag radials, and you will have a chance.

I ask this because I hate having to ease out in 1st gear from a stop then punching it when I'm at 3K and still getting small wheel hop, but then finally I can smash the throttle to the floor in 2nd gear. Even with a Solid Axle or IRS with Level 5 Halfshafts and IRS brace what else could I break doing it? With Level 5 Half Shafts I can't quite possibly seeing that going but not sure if the IRS brace would be strong enough to handle it.

I get no response. On the website, it says he is making more so their aren't any in stock and he doesn't contact me yet I see plenty people saying they've ordered it.

it's as simple as calling...

We sell the IRS Braces so fast that most of the time we have them and SOMETIMES we don't

If our website says we're out of stock but we're not, so what?... just call

BUT

If the website says that we are not out of stock and someone calls and we are out of stock.... they get pissed.

I don't have time to update the website hourly, sorry.

I thrash on my car all the time with a stone stock IRS. :D Why?? I have a built solid axle waiting to go in. On a hot day here in TN, the Nittos get pretty soft, so I can usually punch it in first gear and hook, and when it hooks, I don't get wheelhop.

Doug- I was checking out your website and saw what appeared to be a complete rear diff cover with the IRS brace molded into one. Is that something that I can purchase?

On one occasion on the street I let out the clutch, bogged it and floored it. No spin or wheel hop all the way though 1st and 2nd! Stock rear, pulley, and Kumho tires.

My car never has wheel hop. I dunno why, it spins, but no hop. Street tires at 35psi.
