It's always a chance, but the factory spider gears are usually the weak point...in every GM rear. I'd take my chance with the ring and pinion for now. My point in the post was solely that...he'd be better off budgeting for the Eliminators over new gears...instead of new gears and NO protection against a broke axle.I broke stock gears at low 10's and broke a stock axle at 1.50 60fts and I'm way out of shape.
Denny's Driveshafts. Look it up on the net. He sells a Grand National unit. I'm running the best one he sells.Who do you guys I suggest i get a driveshaft from?
Listen to Rob...Forget rear discs. You won't be able to hold as much boost as with drums. Then you are stuck using a transbrake, and then you will eat the ring gear, not to mention the transbrake needs the suspension set right on. Foot brake is more forgiving.
