my t trim car has found alot of weak links. i tend to be aggressive with my car so it was all expected really. the car made 630rwhp on an md dyno with 10lbs of boost. first night at the track my rearend took a dump but still ran 11.01 @120 bouncing off limiter getting blocked out of 5th. rebuilt it with 3.55s and an eaton posi. next time out ran 11.0@133 but smoked the clutch. so i put in a mcleod rxt and clutch line. car felt better than ever. went to the track and launched at 6k....broke the driveshaft. no biggie, ordered the steeda driveshaft. after a few weeks of waiting for it i got anxious and mated an aftermarket gt500 piece to my yoke and gave it a shot. seemed good to go. well it broke going into 4th gear shaking my tranny so bad that my block cracked near the bolts and coolant began dripping from the motor. car runs perfect but needs shortblock. heres so pics and vids

rearend quits

Wish I was still around to see this car run, seems run real well when it holds together lol. There's a guy on a local board out here selling a tr6060 with everything down to the pedals, for $2500.

Damn man its been a roush road. Best of luck.

Luckily I went the RXT, Tru Trac, 3.55s, Alum DS route before the TT or I would be feeling your pain lol
