I disagree.......there are many many many cars in existance that hook EXTREMELY hard on this size tire (drag radial/slick) and will easily see 9 second passes in the 1/4. Even if your car does not come out of the hole at a clutch dumping or trans brake release of 6000rpm and you so choose to "walk it out" and lay into it.......your axle will still see EXTREME torque and the possibility of it twisting and or breaking is a strong reality.....I personally would like to know that at 140 mph+ that should I break an axle at the hands of 1000hp and a sticky tire that I will not go into a barrel roll. Lets also remember that this suggestion I make also eliminates all other known issues with semi-floater rears as well (piston knockback mainly). Hands down there are no down sides to a Full Floater (other than cost maybe...but in the scheme of things....) and if you are running 1000hp you would be running what I would consider a "marginal rear" at best with anything less that 35 spline axles with Full Floater hubs. Just my opinion and again hope this helps.
