Just out of interest, our president broke an axle in his BTR Commodore diff on Sunday. He was just street driving at the time, so I expect it was just too much prolonged punishment on the track & at the drags. He runs a 347 stroker.
Talking about broken axles, Pete with Gold Cobra, is also looking at replacing an axle in his 9". The shortened axles is showing signs of stress. We've had a few people brake axles in these, it's always the shortened axle. I expect due to the fact the new spline is no longer hardened. People braking these just run healthy 302's.
