All the things mentioned are pretty valid---

One really big reason to consider would be the pinion angle at ride height ---the pinion line is quite a bit lower than the 8.8

with such a short driveshaft this angle differance grows rapidly

For those of you who think a spinning tire loses the torque somewhere have never seen parts that have broken as a spinning wheel hooks up---the sudden application of torque to the non rotating parts is multiplied by the enertia of the spinning wheels mass plus the engines torque--

Thats the reason that the SPF cars break the left half shaFT--when the right side gets traction and stops spinning
