Dems stock axles sure do SUCk eh..we snapped them in the same spots a few times..Good thing is it is a quick fix if you have an axle..We go to local junkyards and find wrecked Z's and buy the Axles for $100 a set..
Well we used to, since we upgraded to the level 5 axles and those F'ers hold!!

The plan was to go forced Induction, but i think im going to hold off and play around with NA a while longer. There are so many with FI ( too many fish in the pond ) that drag race and not enough NA.
MUST GET INTO THE 12s

I'll start at 16psi and go from there next time as the track closed before I could try any more runs with more tire pressure.
I had 18psi in the tires because i thought that would help with the bog. Since i was still bogging i launched at 6k BUUUUUT did not preload the drivetrain.
I think when i do head back, the 6k lanch will work out great IF i do it right.

Retard.....I told you about that lightened flywheel. Why don't you talk to Jaysun and he can explain the importance of a nice and heavy stock flywheel......It's inertia yo....I'd say you could lower your launch R.P.M's to like 4500 r.p.m.

long time no see
Todd, I just want you to understand I dont' think your a retard. Maybe my guesstimate of 4500 rpm's is a little low, but you shouldn't have to launch at those strospheric r.p.m.'s. I would assume you'll keep breaking stuff. I still love you man, your the greatest, tell your uncle I said "sup." BTW, would you be interested in a little street race? I my M5, should be just about even. Peace, nucka!
