The jury is still out on doing the RV / trailer thing or just running out in the cars.
I'm confident your car will hold together!
The solid with give you something in the way of weight savings for a strict Drag car, but I've got several pals who run solidly into the tens (in bad Cali air) with the stock IRS.
Several well documented mid to high 11 sec cars have well over 500 passes on sticky tires as well, so I don't think it will be a huge issue with a diff brace and decent launch technique.
Hell, I had well over 100 passes on sticky tires with my '01, which would have been considered impossible if you listened to all the internet hype.
guess i'll never find out....mine came with the solid axle in it allready....
I've been round and round with the IRS vs Solid swap deal. Still not sure.
Just check and make sure they welded up your torq. boxes with that solid. If you plan on running super sticky tires with a good clutch, those things rip the sheet metal like paper.
