Well first of all i made it to the track and got 3 runs in before I broke ANOTHER drive axel. At BIR tonight here was my best two slips. I could not get any traction in 1st and had major wheel hop which lead to my axel breaking.
60' ---- 2.299
1/8 ---- 9.845
MPH ---- 71.90
1000 ---- 12.787
1/4 ---- 15.277
MPH ---- 89.81
60' ---- 2.270
1/8 ---- 9.824
MPH ---- 71.34
1000 ---- 12.781
1/4 ---- 15.279

Dip me in honey and throw me to the lesbians.
Brian (speedracerz), ok i got it home from BIR today and took a look at it ... the teeth on the shaft inside the inner boot where stripped out. I have a feeling this is not going to be my only problem because now that I have that Limited slip in that I got from you, shouldnt the passenger side axel still move me when on the ground?

Sounds like a bad run of axles............. any noise coming from your tranny.............. did the axle brake coming off the line? or in the water box? Did u have real bad wheel hoop? You said another axle, was it the same side as last time? did you notice if the lsd was working on your first 2 runs? Did u by any chance brake both axles? I have never had any problems with my axles........ Munched 6 trannys though, but no axles.....

Ok i had a friend take a look at it and It IS in the tranny .. the axels are fine. Im pretty sure the LSD was workin ... now if i spin one side driveaxel the other one stays still .. and when i take the clutch out they both spin off the ground but once there is pressure niether one will spin.
And yea my wheel hop was horrible .. i have never had it that bad when I am on the street or anything .. im guessing its because i was racing on 18's? .. they are just as light as the stock 16's but because of the low profile tire is causes more hop?
Sounds like a diff..... When u get wheel hoop..... let off. i found that out the hard way.

does sound like the diff grenaded....... we had that happen in 2 of Dugan's trannies...... w/o and w/ the lsd installed. Both times, there was some horrible wheel hop. We've since upgraded to a Getrag in his car, and a fully welded diff in our Isuzu trans in the drag car.
We've been thinking of cryotreating the Impulse diff gears....... and trying them, if we ever need a non-welded diff again.
Let me know once you have the trans opened up....... and post pics
