Cries, blew rear end tonight on first pass on new clutch

almost cried, well not really have a lot of pics... kinds depressing that i didnt even get one run!! only moved about 6 feet, launched at 3500+/- with 245/50/16 nittos(very nice burnout before) and new SPEC stage III clutch, all i can say is WOW!!!! HIGHLY recommend this clutch, BUT at the same time, you mut upgrade rear.... cries, how much is the moser(cant spell) 12 bolt.... my car doesnt move at all.. just makes a loud clicking noise, and the driver side wheel wobbles(prob a axle, but wanna get 12 bolt, so doesnt happen again, dam chevy rear end well ill post pics later, it still hasnt kicked in what happened... ill cry tomorrow hehe

Well, this sucks
But you probably knew this would happen with the Stage III and Nittos...
I don't have muck traction, but I *feel* this Stage III clutch is hurting my rear-end more and more.
The Moser cost around $2100+some other brackets and stuff that you have to opt for if you want to bolt it up right away. The Strange unit is ~$2300 and drops right in...Comes already assembled and set up. You decide.
Hope you get it up and runnin soon!

soundsl ike a broken axle.. pull it apart and put a new axle in and go easier on the launch.. a 12bolt is nice 9" is better and cheaper..

why waste your money on moser axles if your just gonna upgrade again. I personally would just buy a stock one and be easier on it.
