It won't let me quote you 96ls.... I mean hold the ebrake on the line, bring your rpms up, and let your clutch out enough to put some tension on the axles. Then its not as much like a hammer to the joints when you leave.

I always forget terms. Yes, preloading. But if you're just dumping with that much power, I may skip preloading next time. They sell camber kits and such. The knockoffs are not dependable or accurate. The actual alignment needs to be done at a shop. So there! Fixed itI didn't know ebay did alignments now? Also what you are referring to is known as preloading, something I have never done haha

Street tires with too much psi can make you have wheel hop, which can kill axles. It's not really power that's always the reason an axle will break. Drop your tire pressures to 20'ish, dry burnout, preload at the line, and drop it at like 5k; then fine tune your launch after that. Are you coming out to CMI on Sunday? I can help you a bit in my free time if you are.

Just preload the axles and you should be fine. I've snapped my fair share of axles, but I was also running a lot more power and 24.5' M/H slicks because I wasn't preloading. Preloading is the key!

Anyone can race. Just do brackets.
