Not a bad idea to leave a weak link there. I have been thinking the same thing.

From what I've read its best to just keep extra stock axles around because if they break it takes less than an hour to change them out.

Good luck with your car.

well, it seems like you've done your homework. That kingpin is absolutely insane, and he's using the stock shortblock. So it'll be VERY interesting to see how your project turns out. Keep us updated.

yeah but how many times do you want to replace the axles? it can get pricey putting a new axle on there every time you break one. i guess if you baby the car it would hold, but why baby a car that you built to perform like bruce is doing. personally i would drive it till it breaks then put stronger ones in there when it does. something else will eventually break then you just make that part stronger too. either way it will be one hell of a car. i cant wait to see it when its finished.

you should have at least 600whp if the kingpin one made 513. Man, your car is going to be soooo nice, please keep us updated. Good luck, and have fun!

Holy crap dude you have a baller setup....can't wait for pics on this and then seeing your car in a magazine...cause i'm sure once your car is put together after the neccessary sources are used, they'll be on you like white on rice. You planning to post some vids for us to watch??? Hope so. Best of luck on your project man.

love the "rumble" pack reference. Talk about a "tell" for your age group ;-)
