Axles, how likely am I to break them?

You should have seen the trail of broken parts I left when I had the 572ci big block Mopar stuffed in a Dart Sport.

As far as being committed that is what I am trying to responsibly gauge. I have no shame in saying Certain things are above my pay grade as it were.

At the end of the day I’m going to go out there on 28x10.5 bias ply slicks and skinnies up front and give it hell. If it survives I’ll let you know, if I leave a trail of parts, I will also let you know.

Go practice. We don't want to see you leave a trail of parts. I have done that and it sucks. Don't go after it right out the gate. Work up to it.

Coming off the line. You don't want to side step the clutch pedal. It breaks parts. That's where you slide your foot to the side of the pedal. Learn to pull your leg straight back. With this method. You can control the shock to the drivetrain.

I have some seat time, I was previously running some 17x9.5 forgestars and 28x10 bias ply slicks but that was a stock long block and stock GTR turbo setup on E98 so around 600whp. Previous best was 1.68 60ft, I have some suspension work to do as well but I think I can get 2/10ths off that.

I'm waiting on some fittings to get this installed, seen it works wonders for launch consistency and reducing shock load on a few high powered Evo's here.

Bigger turbos would help ramp in the power, those tiny turbos make life difficult.
