Ill try to make the quick, as I cant really find a definite answer. I have a 2016 V3 (obviously) that should be in the 900+ rwhp club. I want to know what the weak link will be if I happen to take it to the track and launch it hard. I know the trans is going to need built at some point, but what will break if I don't change anything else? I'm assuming a driveshaft. How are the stock axles? Will the actual rear end handle power? Any and all recommendations and advise is greatly appreciated. Id rather spend the money now, then potentially ruin a fun day of racing!

Yes I’m sorry!! If I happen to take it drag racing. Most of my fun, probably 99% of it would be roll racing with buddies. I obviously would like to see what it runs one day. I have a drag pack and it has a Circle D converter also. Just looking for the weak links in hopes I can enjoy my first outing.

I don't recall my buddy @Dr.Salt with his Full Bolt On running into the 9s, remarking about weak links.

Driveshaft/Transmission/Half Axles should keep you safe. Stock rear ends apparently hold up. This was the answer I got when asking the same question on the v3 facebook group from the guys at 1k+ at the wheels.
Ok.. I was kind of aware of the driveshaft/transmission.. Half axles huh... Do you know of a good place for those? Maybe a link to what I need lol..

Thank you for the help!
