muhahahaha Jud.... better get back to the track 108MPH trap!!!!

[kuntzie]

well i didnt beat him...... but i only got 1 run in on the new setup...... on my 2nd run i made it 3 feet off the starting line... snaped another axle i believe, hopefully not the Differential.

Please note: For further proof.... and most likely some better times i will make a video tomorrow if it is indeed just the axle thats the problem.

here the results...... 108MPH TRAP............... Like i said here i come 12s....... my 1/8 mile wasnt that good either (shitty launch) also at 12 psi

the good new it was just the axle...... ya it blew apart pretty good (pics below)

the bad new.... it was raining so no more times to tell you about, but tomorrow seems alright so ill most likely go out then


Pics..... just a note... the housing has about a 1.5" crack down it aswell

Jesus, I haven't seen hardly ANY busted axles on a W-body! Hopefully it's not a common re-occurance!

Heck of a good run kuntzie :icon_biggrin: Keep it up, you don't have far to go to catch me. After you do then I'll go back to the 1/4 mile. You can be the fastest for a while. ;) Been working mostly on the TA to get in the 80's 1/8 mile. I am at 8.22 now. Just added a 3500 stall converter. Well see.

Quit breaking things, I have never broken anything in the drive line other than a few trannys. Didn't really break anything, just wore them out. Keep waiting for this one to go but it won't quit. When it does it gets a 3500 stall also. Almost wish it would go, Getting tired of tripping over  the converter, rather have it in the car.

Looks like I run best in the beginning and you run best at the end.

Again, great run. :cheers:

Gotta get to bed. Flight from Chi Town leaves in the am at 8:00.  :icon_frown:Can't wait to get home and back to warm weather.

I think your clutch is turning out to be an axle eater. ;) You're still on plain ol' street tires, right?

[kuntzie]

thanks guys... i gladly take the fastest tgp for a while, the tires yes.... just plain old street tires.....otherwise i tihnk id be breaking everything

[TGPilot]

Are you wheel hopping off the line or during your burnout? Are you drawing the clutch or doing a 5000RPM clutch drop on hot slicks/DR's?

That thing shattered! :icon_eek:

[kuntzie]

wheel hop off the line...... i snapped another one today too, so no new runs to tell about (happened on my first run) .... anywhere to get hardened axles????

3 in under a month..... pics to come + a vido of 80-120 MPH

oh and no cluitch drop, and starting in 1st gear..... i gotta get this thing dynoed....... there gotta be 400+ ft lsb to the wheels

[kuntzie]

[kuntzie]

and heres a vido from 70-130 MPH for you guys

 :twitch: :Yikes_anim: Was this the same axle you just replaced?

[kuntzie]

yes..... ive broken 2 driver side and the first one i broke was a passenger side

[TGPilot]

wheel hop off the line......

Wheel hop will kill axles, trannies, and if it telegraphs hard enough into the crank from a solid clutch you can dimple main bearings from the shock waves. You need to get that under control.

Now next issue...what axles are you using? Have you measured them to ensure that you are getting the yoke far enough into the output of the tranny for the entire yoke to seat over the output shaft and bottom out? Are you making sure that the ring clip is seating into the grove in the yoke? Once it seats into the yoke where are the CV rollers inside the yoke when the car is sitting full weight on the front end and also when the nose rises to just before the wheels come off the ground? When you do a hard pull...in say 3rd gear from 3000 RPM to 4800RPM (give or take just trying to stay in the torque range) do you get a notchy/knuckling feeling from the car? Kind of a chuncky shutter? Shit I have no idea how to describe what I am trying to get from you...but is it not smooth in the driveline when you are hard pulling through the torque curve?? :laugh:

If you are not seating the yoke all the way onto the output shaft the axle yoke will float out away from the tranny instead of the CV rollers moving inside the yoke. When that happens you will not have full coverage on the output shaft and it will find the weakest point to wedge open...like the yoke sleave! ;)

Damn Jeff, that's fuging ugly, looks like gorilla snot all over the place. :Yikes_anim:   :puke:   Looks like you took the tranny out on this one. Don't think better axles are going to help you. :icon_sad:

Do you have your rear struts blocked :icon_question:
 
Get a slipper clutch. Call Hayes Clutches and tell them your problem. They can make you a clutch that you can come out a 6000 rpm and keeps it there until the car catches up. no harsh engagement. Have run a couple of them in alterds and dragsters. They are definitely easy on the driveline and absolutely dynamite out of the gate.
