How do the 5th Gen SS rear ends hold up to roll racing and half mile style racing? Safe power levels?

I get dig racing and drag racing is hard on these and the half shafts. Just wondering if they hold up better to starting from a roll.

They should hold up well. Its the shock at launch on sticky tires that eats parts on manual trans cars. I ran a whipple on stock drivetrain including tires for a couple summers. Did not have any issues until I put drag radials on and then started breaking parts.

Man, isnt that the truth. I had upgraded to BMR poly suspension arms on my former GT500 and F me if I didnt blow out every poly bushing at LEAST once when I put on NT05Rs haha.

Good to know about the SS diffs, thanks!
