I have a 95 GT 8.8 rear in my car. It handled 1.45 60' and 480 rwhp. I turned the car up to 600 RWHP and one of the axle shafts shattered right off the line. All runs were on MT drag radials. Stock 8.8 impressed me handling some pretty good abuse with a 480 rwhp fox. But I was probably on borrowed time from the beginning.
