I’ve seen stock everything go 1.50sec.60’.
That’s hooking pretty dang good; for a 3300-3400-Z (minus driver).
Shouldn’t be an issue for you, unless you’re launching harder than that...Most of your lower 10sec & the (1) high 9sec 1320ft. Z , use full blown drag slicks.
As mentioned above: axles are weaker than driveshaft: So if you’re fortunate to have that much power to the wheels & launching hard enough to break an axle,,,I’d say congratulations. As not many people have actually done it.
0 reports that I’ve seen on CF driveshaft breaking.
You must be getting loaded up & running in Darlington soon?
Unsure when you go,,,I’d like to come out.
I’ve ran @CarolinaDragway a few times in Jackson SC.
A 10sec. Pass would be awesome
