Man, I'll quite honest there are people making more power but not breaking near as much as you.



What are you doing to your car to break everything the way you do??? A good ACT 6 puck, the stock trans, stock drive shaft, and any aftermarket rear end/axles should be pleanty for your car. I dont understand why you break so much ****. You think something is misaligned somewhere? You think its possible you have one or two bad motor mounts causing your drive train to twist to much....which can break **** with ease.



I just dont understand it. maybe some stuff wansnt installed quite right or something.....Do you have any idea why all your **** breaks so much with less than 500rwhp???

So you have to shift early to keep it from grinding right? Did Ito and his brother have to shift soon too or could they go up to 8k with no grinding?

If thats ^ the case check the clutch hydraulics. Make sure they are 100%.
