How sticky of tires? Any suspension? What RPM are you leaving at?

In all honesty your rear end may be one of the last things to break or one of the first. I killed bushings in my stock control arms then upgraded and they were fine til I got rid of the car. I know Tony has killed several bushings from launching as well. Several other people have broken the axles or the diff first.
Need the information above to help more.2012 Race Red GT w/ a 5 Liter and a 6 speed

The rear end I broke wasnt stock. I had already done the full 31 spline rebuild. PSR did just rebuild it for me. Also they where not the ones to build it the first time, so now I know it's done right.just ask torched mach
We do need a little more info before we can give you a better answer.
I can say our stock input shafts are pretty strong.

stock rear will hold up with some 31 spline axles, stock rear with just 4.10s and a drag radial i wouldnt leave harder then 3,500. Put some moser 31s and a truetrac in it and launch as hard as you want. Input shafts my friends had bad luck, he went through 3 input shafts before going to a tko 600. He was just a bolt on car on a drag radial. Last time he broke it was shifting into 3rd gear. I have no idea how he broke it so many times
