Kevin.pk Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 They usually start breaking when you get traction at 300+rwhp. I believe he was running slicks when he demolished that halfshaft. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aziza z Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 The slicks help, but u can do it on street tires. I have. Twice. Im also in the 300hp range. Also doing the cv conversion when the time is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power doesn't necessarily break half shafts... but it sure does help:biggrin:. I haven't broken one..... yet. But I am planning on an upgrade as well.

aziza z Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Yea its definitely something that should be done soon. When they do break they love to beat into the undercarriage, control arms and anything in they're way. Ask me how i know. Agreed...

janaka Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 That was done on Drag Radials at the track. Traction and power = breaking the weak link. I too will be doing the CV upgrade this winter, along with LSD and a few other items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
