I don't know. The diffs should hold since neither is getting the full shock of Parish8's right foot. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

I would kinda be worried about driveshafts and the transfer case.

The transmission......Well, let's just say it's a good thing it has a warranty. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

The bucking bronco routine is probably the biggest threat to breaking something right now.

I'd bet on the rear drive shaft/u-joints. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />
They are constantly being used ("tortured") in 2wd & 4wd. <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />
I hope you get that bucking problem fixed or you could break some front diff parts. If is anything like what is in Big Tex's video.
Seeing the front jerk around like that is practically as bad as rear wheel hop, which usally breaks ****, I know, I broke the rearend in my Monte Carlo from wheel hop. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Well, since you haven't broken your wallet, I'm gonna guess the 12 second Gtech time. Something physical will be after that, not sure, but I'll guess your front diff.

His answer: Base 550 HP package- 32s Higher boost 650 HP- 36s. Maybe those numbers are at 43.5 psi, but that still makes them smaller than yours.

i must be missing something on the injector issue, i dont see any way a 32 would support 550hp unless you ran it to it's limit and why would you even try and cut it close like that?

i am sure lingerfilder knows what they are doing but there are some people that will say-- so and so got 600hp out of a xxlb injector so it must be good, well thats not good reasoning, just becasue they got away with it doesn't always mean it was right. i think the BSFC must be alot better for these motors and that is why they go so far on an injector.
