Out of curiousity......has anyone broken their half-shafts with just Drag Radials(and some mods) or just Nitrous(and some mods) ....or has it always been a combination of both DR's with the violence of a nitrous shot ?? Can you make up for traction loss with pure power N/A to the max (Headers,hi-flow cats,CAI(I know this doesn't really matter),cat-back,P&P heads and intake ,PCM flash , TCM flash and now the Torque converter ?? And what if you(of course I mean I..
)...add the quaife LSD ??? How much is too much ? I know noone knows for sure.....but can anyone take an educated guess if all of these things(like I said ...as naturally aspirated as you can get to date) will snap the shafts........even if you stay away from DR's and Nitrous ?? If the answer is no to snapping shafts...I'm surely headed for divorce court cus I'm getting all of the remaining pieces of the puzzle I don't have(the quaife and a T/C). Any body care to take a shot at this one if I've made any sense with my question here.......................
-Mike .
I know the '' if you want to play ...you gotta pay '' mantra that holds true here . I'm just worried I'll end up at Chrysler for another set of stock half-shafts ....then not be able to use my mods again . Or should I just wait till stronger shafts are available ? Bad enough I'm (and everybody else has been waiting for proper programmable tuning and getting jerked around for years now with empty promises to the 6.1L owner)....but now with this half shaft drama.....I'm waiting to proceed futher than I already have . If I pop the motor somehow.........I'll go stroker ,forged or any of the other wonderful new options out there (sure glad I paid extra for my warranty.......I shoulda known I was not going to be able to control myself....
) but I'd like to enjoy this one to the fullest first . End of bable.......anyone with superior knowledge to me.........probably most of you.....
....want to fathom a guess to the original question..........Is it just the DR's(and excessive traction they permit) combined with the violence of a nitrous shot that you suspect is causing shaft breakage ?? Am I headed to divorce court from adding more goodies (Torque converter and Quaife Diff)?? Tune in tomorrow for another episode of ''As the Hemi Turns"...........
