I know this seems like a stupid question but can you use the multi-link with a solid axle or is it IRS exclusive?

If you mean use existing trailing arm mounts, not likely. You will want coil-overs on the corners with some sort of 4-link type set up to keep the rear in place under the car. You won't find specific design information on here. You need to research and contact a fabrication company when u r ready.

2,000 horsepower? Serious? That sounds exaggerated by about 100%. I would respectfully suggest you nail down a realistic number of what your build will come out to be with your builder before you start buying chassis parts. Throwing "2,000" out there is pretty unrealistic. But hey, maybe I'm wayyyyy off. Are there any LSX's out there seriously making in the 2,000 hp range at all, or with any kind of reliability?

I put the idea of a solid axle install in here because if you're building this true badass high HP car, Installing some 2X3 square tubing and a 4 link shouldn't be that hard. I wouldn't waste your time with the IRS in a drag application. Your going to need to connect the frame anyways so a backhalf subframe isn't out of the question. Considering the cost to build the IRS completely is on par to buying a built solid axle and fab work to install it.

This car won't be a drag car it will be a street car. The only thing not street legal about it is there being no catalytic converters and how loud it will be. If I want to have a drag car, I wouldn't use a 454, I would use a supercharged/twin-turbo'd 632 big block with a solid frame. This car will be a daily driver when finished.

If you are truly putting 2000hp to the ground, you will need a solid axle with big slicks and tubs. But u go gitm Henry. FYI, I think Henry knew a little something about car design. Quote:

Ok, sorry to revive an old thread but I was wondering if SLP's "Severe Duty" axles would handle that much power? Also, I know I made an ass of myself on this thread but I've deleted those posts.

I concur. The 9" kits COME with the HD axles.
