Im still on my like 7-8 year old TRE. I should probably send it in for a rebuild or think about upgrading to a OSG because Im running out of things to spend money on.

If you are running out of things to spend money on, you are not breaking hard enough. (spelled correctly :-) ) I also have a running list on my phone of future modifications. The cost to performance ratio ranks them and I keep working at it every year. The list usually grows on the trip home from nationals.

Lol, true story. My list of what I could do is very expensive. The potential to "spend money" is far beyond what the above average person has to spend but we keep at it anyway.
I have been running things mostly moderate to keep that breakage down. Power this year was probably mid 400s at best, really wasn't pushing it with wife going back to school. I didn't want to break, just wanted to drive and play with weird suspension setups. Heh, turns out weird is weird for a reason.

Haha. Dont get it wrong, we were like med+ power levels, but not yank the WG line mode. I have a map for a few more lbs of boost and pushing the duty cycle up top to hold boost harder. But thats just risky and you cant win if you dont finish.

The weakest link is probably the driver and their ability to launch the car right.
The main mechanical thing to worry about would be a stock front diff. I have all my drivetrain rebuilt as preventive maintenance but I should probably start cycling things back through for another rebuild at this point. The car does now have a good 8 years of AX on it pretty much all in SM of varying prep.
At this point I'm worried about axles and just drivetrain fatigue. I think next time I have TRE rebuild something I'll have him do his thing to help the fatigue part since straight load its been solid. I also need to start collecting OEM axles.

How many pro solo launches on your csr, Dallas? I used to do over 200 a year. I started breaking a lot more stuff after the motor build, but that was also when I changed to a triple disc. Hoping to get break that habit (lol) with the twin I put in mid last year. About 60 launches since then...
