Default The Weakest Link

See signature for mods. I have been drag racing on the average two times a month. What is the weakest (driveline) link? If I am going to break something, what will it most likely be?

Rear (Factory assembled 3.42 non-Z06)
Output shafts (stock)
Trans (stock with aftermarket T/C per signature)
Other

Well I know for the MN6 guys we all try to get the hardened output shaft and the DTE brace.


From what I have heard from others the BFGs have a good chance of grapping and breaking things because they don't flex that much. I am running the same tires, but have been thinking about switching over to the MT ETs they flex a ton...
