Although the housing is narrowed to fit the width of the Tiger, the internals (center section, differential, 3rd member, whatever you want to call it) are the same. </div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534599247523_7827" dir="ltr"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534599247523_7828"></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534599247523_8158" dir="ltr">lMO the weakest link in the Tiger's acceleration chain is traction. This is why you definitely need a positraction/limited slip rearend. Even with a positraction transferring power to both the rear wheels, street tires will generally spin before you'll reach the breaking point of the differential. The highest stresses on a drivetrain occur when maximum traction is trying to overcome maximum static inertia. This is why rearends, gears and u-joints almost always break at launch, where you have peak engine torque, maximum traction and maximum inertia, which generate the highest structural shock values to the drivetrain. If you are drag racing on a regular basis with 500 ft-lbs torque and running wrinkle wall slicks, I would worry about the differential unit, the rearend gears and the u-joints. That being said, once your tires break traction, the stresses on the mechanicals are reduced, i.e., the constant load values under acceleration are lower than the quasi instantaneous peak shock values at launch.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534599247523_8165" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534599247523_9749" dir="ltr">Clutches can also be a weak link in the Tiger's acceleration chain, but that is mostly based on wear rate. The comments about the forward spring perches are valid, but that is mostly a fatigue issue. Factory traction bars put undue stress on these front perches, which is why the bars should be removed if you have them, and you should go with a torque arm of stiffer rear springs.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534599247523_9889" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534599247523_9890" dir="ltr">My two cents.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534599247523_9891" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534599247523_9894" dir="ltr">Gary<br></div><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534599247523_7775" style="display: block;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534599247523_7774" style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534599247523_7773" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534599247523_7772" dir="ltr"> <font id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534599247523_7865" face="Arial" size="2"> <hr size="1" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534599247523_7864"> <b id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534599247523_8025"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534599247523_8024" style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Brent Edinger via Tigers <tigers@autox.team.net><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> "tigers@autox.team.net" <tigers@autox.team.net> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Friday, August 17, 2018 11:36 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> [Tigers] Tiger rear end<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534599247523_8026"><br><div id="yiv8828998642">
