I have the prototype on my car. About 3 years with no breakage now. Before the brace, I broke a casing and tranny output shaft on one launch.
Now... recently, I toasted the clutch packs on my 4.10s on ET Streets and kept right on racing. That pretty much toasted the rear end and I even wound up with a twisted hardened output shaft! BUT... no catastrophic breakage, i.e. my tranny is still perfect. That tells me the brace works just fine.
I have a head/cam 6-speed, 463 RWHP and over 150 passes launching at 4500-6500 RPM on drag radials and ET Streets.
