It's not the rear end, it's the rear diff. However it will take a little bit more of a beating, but nothing beats a real LSD.

it has taken my 8500 RPM launches



the reason the diff explodes is from vibration. you need a diff brace and tranny brace to stop that from happening

I also recommend upgraded toe links/trailing arms.

so i'll have to run ET streets instead of drag radials because they have soft sides and that should stop the vibration right?
