Ya rear shafts will probably break. Tranny will go first though or just slip with the stock convertor.
Did the pics work for you guys?

Looks like a stock car roll cage, would of been better if you fabbed a cage specifically for drag racing but I'm sure it'll still run good if the rear end doesn't break. I wish my high school did that stuff.
