That is with slicks. I USED to do 6,000 rpm blast starts with my Vette in the Seventies -on street tires "L60s" and NEVER twisted the 2.5 inch shafts I had then.
Hey, I talked to Doug last night. He is thinking of going on the Motorgen run Sat. How about you?

I might. Teri has a yearly migraine. It depends on how she feels.

Yes, but the diff is in the rear. 
Ok, I'll test it.

There will certainly be DS and HS hoops. And I'm strongly leaning towards a fuel cell as well. I want this thing to get driven hard but be safe. I was joking with one of the guys last Sunday, probably Leedom; we could take it to the track, blow up the rear end in the first pass or two. The announcer will go, "well, that's it for them today." Of course, they don't know we'll have a rear end ready to swap, and we come back around two hours later.

Measuring Rear End
Ron, while you have it, can you measure the rear end so we can have a tentative idea of what might be required for an 8.8? I'm still thinking to the stock unit for now, but it really is, even in a rosey scenario, just a matter of time before it go boom.
I've been reading a lot more anecdotal cases, and it really seems all over the place.

Pieces of the rear end or the information?

Will do. It's been too windy here to work on it but the wind seems to be dying down some today so hopefully I can back back to work on the cage tonight.
