Thank you sir. The triple was only $300 more than the twin so I figured better safe than sorry. Now they also make a quad, which was only a few hundred more than the triple... maybe I should have purchased it instead.

Thanks J. I'm pretty worried about the axles from a hard launch. I think I'll take it easier next time at the strip. I dont want to find myself yelling "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" like I was the last time.


Q, no kids that I know about and no wife.

Ya, Rookie broke his axle shortly after installing the 6 speed at the drag strip. He probably makes more power than you though.

You should put those few hundred bucks you saved by not going with a quadruple towards the driver mod. You don't want me to catch you with my measly 100 shot, right?

Yeah, the axles will probably go next, if you don't launch right. Just be sure you're preloading the drivetrain. However, as long as you do things right, you should be good. SP's still on stock tranny and stock axles and stock a lot of things and they have more than double your hp.

True, but you still get an A for effort.

And you know I'm just joking about catching you. There's no way in hell, unless we did 1/8th mile runs.
