    ouch! factory or aftermarket axle?

    Many people think that an 8" won't hold up when you reach xxx amount of power. It's not the power rating of the motor that kills them. It's that sudden shock when you really start dropping the hammer off the line and hooking the tires that does them in.

    Great time slip you got out of the deal though.. congrats!
