I've ran looped stockers in past on cars and it sucks vs a true manual rack

I plan to use a flaming river manual on my truck

Well since I was getting the truck ready for a 16 car blacktop cash days race for last night, we made a last minute decision to put some 9" stroke qa1 coilovers up front as well.. That way we can have better control to make this truck work on some of the shittiest surfaces.

Got the truck scaled out and ride heights set just a few hours before we go race.

With just a few hours before we go race it, we had to go test it on some of the shittiest road we could find..
Instead of pimp juice we took some dr pepper for burnouts.

We pulled a lot a lot of power out to slow it down on the hit.

Solid motor mounts and poly transmount should not of broke the case. I did shorten the wheel base 1-2" from when I originally measured for tge driveshaft to be made. Wonder if the driveshaft was bound up

Chassis flex? I also presume you were running the trans as pictured without the lower support cover?

Support brace? The converter cover on the older transmissions were stamped steel. They don't do anything for rigidity.
