Axles, how likely am I to break them?

Spooler · 02-18-2022, 03:05 PM

As far as input shafts. Well that list is getting long. Let's see. Mr. Squeeze did it on the streets. SOHO, a 900+whp car that MA-Motorsports built broke 2 input shafts, and a couple of more that I don't remember the details of. I am not sure how many transmission SOHO has broken trying to get them to live at the drag strip. Input shaft, 3rd gears out the wazo, and first gear.

Yeah I remember seeing a few of these ******** the bed with people at or near your tier of power. Funny how popular this transmission is for swaps but no one seems to be developing parts for it.

I'm not trying to get THAT competitive in regards to the slipper clutch etc. I will run the Magnus slipper on the OS Giken twin plate I have. I guess I should have asked my question in a different way. I am not interested in investing another 10k in drive train parts, I have enough engine to break ****, I want to stay under the threshold and enjoy the car at that level.

Appreciate the links/examples so far I missed a few of those in my searching

It's all good. Justin ran a 9.96 on stock everything. If you are careful with the launch and don't shock the drive train you may be able to get away with it for a while. My clutch is totally different than everyone else runs. That may be the reason my trans has lasted as long as it has. I even have the stock driveshaft.

Just accept what you have. You’re not ready and willing to do what’s necessary or just buy a mustang, corvette, camaro, Honda of sort. Takes about half the amount of money to run fast 1320 times and way more aftermarket knowledge on what works

Marky that lives about an hour north from me broke the input shaft on the street. He has a FI twin turbo stage 2. Making about 600 ft lbs. Said he was in 5th. Romped down on the loud pedal at about 2000 rpm. Got to about 6000 rpm. Hit a bump and the rear tires caught some air time. When the tires came back down a got traction. It snapped the input shaft. He also has twisted the input shaft on the 2nd tranny.
