Great time! Do you run at Sonoma or Sacto?
Sac...
I installed my own Trutrac, but I've also been doing gear swaps and rear end builds for years. It's a reasonably simple install if you have access to side shims. Mine needed the the backlash adjusted when I installed it, but every rear end will be different.
The stock axles are strong, but do have their limits. Aftermarket axles like Mosers are much stronger, but not always needed. I found out the hard way that they're not as strong as we think. This is my axle from a few weeks ago (just over 800rwh, 3.73's, Trutrac, slicks, and 3500-4000 rpm launch):

I'm an automatic and way below the 800 rwhp threshold.....so hopefully it will be fine.

Y'all are quite good at adding things to my desired mods list. I've got the power I want and now I need to work on controlling it.
I'm still debating the FR part vs. Trutrac but I definitely need to get one of them.
Given the lack of slicks/DR (I prefer road racing), I'm thinking I can live without axles.
Why does the mod list never get shorter?
oke:

Because it's there.
How does the truetrac look after this out of curiousity?The stock axles are strong, but do have their limits. Aftermarket axles like Mosers are much stronger, but not always needed.

When I layed my oem and Moser side-by-side, the main difference I noticed was that the Mosers were the same larger diameter all the way to the end of the splines and the oems narrowed down in the area where your axle broke. I believe that is the common problem with the oems............when they do break, it is where they get smaller toward the spline end, the weak area.

Because you must never be beat by a ricer.
