Back in 08, BR old black Evo 8 drag car was running 8's with stock t-case, front axles, rear, & driveshaft. It just depends on driver & how lucky you are.

I have not broken one thing on my Evo when it was on the Fp black making 600 on a mustang dyno. The car went best pass 9.76 and i must have launched that car and drove it at the track over 75 time no joke. I had the stock T-case, Rebuilt Trans. Car held up like a champ. Car will be different this season hoping to make 800-900whp so will see what happens

This.
I have broke more parts at low power and high torque than the other way round. I am not worried about power as much as low end torque. We didnt break rear axles consistently till around 900whp. DSS stage 5s fixed that issue. The drag car has worn Tcases out but not broken any. Its lost one rear end, tranny is relative to clutch and shifting (driver).

this thread is funny too me because I have a subaru. A 600whp is very unreliable. How reliable are the EVO motors at 700whp how long will they last if daily drive the car?

As for the original question, Its all luck of the draw....for example: Joe blow will make 550 whp 450 ft/lbs and his car will last a couple years (good tune), his brother Mike blow made 450whp / 450 tq and it blew up on the dyno. Same goes with drivetrain components...to a point, "riding" the clutch and not shock loading the T-case will help longevity...but imo its still a ticking time bomb.
If you want a car that lasts, you build everything....but some of us don't have endless cash flow so pick and choose areas. In my opinion i would rather build the drivetrain first then add the power...then again what fun is that.

gotta remember evos last a while even on stock internals at 500whp. so its not really a suprise how long some will last with even higher horsepower on built internals

yea i understand alot of it is involved in the tune and i trust all that to aaron at ER hands down so no worries there i will probably be going w/ a 3586 or 37r setup 7-800 awhp street / strip is my honest goal.. i think im on the right track? and i can replace things as they break its a hobby
