for the most part yes, if the car is really hooking hard on a track over and over I would go with a set of 28 spline axles and an eaton posi.i went 1.5 60fts on radials years ago alot before i swapped axles and the stockers had a nice wave to themI have a stock posi 8.5 rear end and I am wondering if it can handle this much power?

I gotta say they took a real beating really should have swapped them out earlier with the what I was doing with them but hey I got smartJust be thankful they are courteous and let you know when they are leaving.

I have a stock posi 8.5 rear end and I am wondering if it can handle this much power? This is motor horse power - not rwhp.
550 hp
550 tq.
thats alot of power for the 8.5.I ended up going right to the 9 inch after the 8.5 had enough, no regrets at all.not a single broken part in 5 years.i know guys go fast on the 8.5 but there is a lot of work to be done to it and its no fun breaking the 8.5 and heading to the wall.I don't plan on pushing it with any more hard hits since the next combo will be over 1000hp.
It still takes a lot of work to a 9" to be able to withstand 1000+hp hits and 1.2x 60' times.thats alot of power for the 8.5.I ended up going right to the 9 inch after the 8.5 had enough, no regrets at all.not a single broken part in 5 years.i know guys go fast on the 8.5 but there is a lot of work to be done to it and its no fun breaking the 8.5 and heading to the wall.
its not cheap by any means but the 9 inch will be much more reliable/safe.i went big $ on the 9 inch after my friend would run 1.10 60fts for 100's of runs on a heavier 7 sec car,our thought was after building the 8.5 up and if something did break, the cost of the initial 8.5 build then replacing the broken parts was not far off from a built 9 inch.the safety factor obviously is without a price.It still takes a lot of work to a 9" to be able to withstand 1000+hp hits and 1.2x 60' times.
that rear combo handled 1.4 60fts at 3800 lbs on my old combo.Running the moser 28 spline axles in my rear with a Detroit ratchet locker.
its dangerous and expensive to find out that's the problem.mean are the c-clips really that weak with a 31s axle?
And that's the damn truth!its dangerous and expensive to find out that's the problem.
Don't really know if I should do the ford 9" ends and eliminate the c-clips. I mean are the c-clips really that weak with a 31s axle? I've already installed 1350 u joints and a girdle.
