More pictures from the rearend carnage

[missouri_guy197]

Here's what I got taken apart so far...

Doesn't look like the lock pin came out of the center pin...just plain looks like complete failure of the center pin...The one side gear got lodged inbetween the carrier and the ring gear which locked everything up...Pinion is toast as well...I do have a problem though, I can't get the front drive shaft yoke out of the transmission...seems to be lodged in there pretty good...not much room to swing a BFH either, and not enough height to get good leverage with a crow bar...probably have to take the exhaust down to get more room...Had enough force to break the rear u-joint too! Which made removing the drive shaft pretty easy as well as giving me a lot of room to get an impact on the rear yoke bolts to get them out...

I got to hand it to Moser though, those sticks still look brand new!

WOW, I have seen center pin failure but never seen that much carnage.

How much HP/Torque you putting down there??? WOW

I've dynoed at 300rwhp/282tq, but the DA was about -1100' when it happened so add around 10-15 more of each I would say...

Not really that much, just happened to heat up the tires properly, stage in the right spot, and launch at the right RPM for it to hook right and find the weakest link in the drivetrain which happened to be either the spider gear or the center pin...
