Axle shaft tech info needed
Called the dealer today to order a passenger side half shaft to install on the drivers side since it's a bit larger. Roughly $300 which is fine but, according to the dealership, there is a first design and a second design. Does anyone know if the second design is an upgrade or just an insignificant difference? If any improvement has been made, I'd like to know about it.

No. The only time I accelerate that hard from a stand still is at the drag strip with drag tires. The burnout in the water box would be the only time it would be possible. If it wheel hops then, I'll let off and try plan b.

Wheel hop won't happen in a dead hook. It never has with me anyway. Hopefully your drag radials will eliminate any tire spin. 18's are a smart decision. Gives you a ton of options and just a little more sidewall.
