    I meant 'whatever you say' more in a "I'm not sure what you're talking about, but sure, whatever you say" kind of way.

    I'm hoping to break 600whp and with a fat powerband. All I really want a fun, comfortable street car until I sell it.

    Oh, and why would I 'punk out'? I'll run for fun whenever.

    I won't be doing much drag racing until I'm done with the transmission and get some fat slicks.

    JDM Type R transmission
    Quaife LSD
    DSS or maybe Gator Racing axles

    That won't come for a while, though.

    I agree, you snap an OEM axle, you can replace at the track if you break and still drive home. Although there are some stage 1s that will still have the factory hub. But I agree w/ spoolin... you want a fuse in the drivetrain... something that you WANT to give away 1st... I'd rather that be a 50$ OEM axle than the splines in the tranny.
