Default What next?

Well I got the Paxton kit installed and tuned,wow! My next thing is going to be drivetrain. What all do I need to replace or beef up? Output shaft or shafts(both sides)? Diff brace? Clutch seems to be holding for now. I know I will replace it sometime. What else am I over looking?

Most do the driver side shaft and are good with it. I had it done along with the brace and clutch at the same time. The very first time I lauched at the track, I broke the passenger side shaft. Do yourself a favor and do both shafts while you are at it. The brace is good insurance too. I guess it depends on how you use your car. If you are gonna drive it casually, you'll probably be fine without the shafts or brace. If you're gonna beat on it, do it all and be done with it.

So I should do the clutch and both shafts at the same time? Oh by the way I'm running 10 lbs right now.
