Not too much power. It was the wheel hop. I broke mine with near stock power levels. Now much more power and no probs. Diff brace, solid diff mounts and ETB kinda helps. Launching at 7k with et streets= no wheel hop

With a diff brace, i Was doing 7k launches last year with ET streets. 30ish Passes and no problems really. I think all that abuse just weakened the metal so much. Now the first time without the brace it just didnt have that extra support and let go. I have some pics with the diff out. When i took it out, the entire LSD was shaking and rattling, and about 75 tiny gear peices fell out. The case is also cracked all the way around the diff! Pics



Ring and pinion are chewed up too

I was enjoying it! IT pulls pretty well, huge jump over stock twins. I need to put her to 20-22 lbs and see what happens.
