Must have been 10 spline huh ? I launch at 4800 on mt 15" et streets and never broke anything .
no, 26 spline, 15'' has alot more side wall than the 18''

my rear end is a built sra too,my diferential was a auburn, and the tranny is built too, only the mainshaft wasn't built ( i broke the main shaft )
yes floored of the 2 step, and the clutch is a spec 3 it does not slip, my car makes 620 pounds of torque at the wheels at 3500 rpm, the 18's don't have alot of side wall and the 2 step is what is breaking parts before the 2 step i had never break anything

That's crazy I'd never thought a 18 could hook to do that . Less sidewall usually means less hook . That means tires are deff biting !
