Any stick guys with a 12 bolt in here?

I just blew my street gears apart on a 10.5 pass on a 100 shot. Before I switch to a set of pro gears and hit it with a 150-175 shot I figure I would check to see whats holding up or are pro gears the only option

I've seen a few F body guys break their 12 bolts at our local track. Mostly heavier 6 speed cars making 450+ trying to launch hard.

BTW Your car is really clean and nice, props for not being afraid to beat the **** out of it. (Saw it in GM HTP)

Sat. on the first pass boom my day was over.Now I have to switch to a set of pro gears which are track only gears unless I feel like throwing money away every 20 passes. I might just start looking for a back up rear

This thread sounds so fimilar to what happened to me. After breaking 4-5 10bolts trying to get into the 11's I upgraded to the 12bolt. It worked fine until I started reaching the 10's. First time I broke the posi unit, second time twisted an axle (33 spline), third time broke r&p. So I had enough of it, pulled it, fixed it and sold it. Then bought a 9inch and have yet to hurt it. All of that breakage was pretty much at full weight thought. Now i'm much lighter but also much faster. Hope this helps.
