I ran the stock differential to a best of 11.8 or 11.7 in the 1/4. Around that time I had a burnout where one wheel grabbed and I could hear it fail. I still ran it down the track after it failed. I don't think it's the power that kills them, it's shock. Currently I'm running the Wavetrac and it's not given me any problems (knock on wood), besides being a little noisy. I've run a best of 11.30 with the Wavetrac, and others have run 10.8's with one.

As for Jim (AMX) his is a totally different animal than the rest of us. His can run 11.0's without nitrous, and I have to turn up the bottle to get that low. On the street though, I think the SC's V8's probably spin badly from a dig. As a result, a modded SC V6 is probably going to be faster to 60. That's absolute conjecture on my part though. And for the record, I'd give my left (not right) ball for either of their rides.

If Jim or Beaner installed some MT ET Streets (or equivalent) for summer service, they'd likely smoke the modded SC'd v6 like it was a Prius.
