be careful, ghost riding may cause your whip to flip in a ditch.

Lots of people have broken things. Most people claim the rearend of the FB to only be good up to 250 to 300 horsepower. And at those levels of power, they generally don't last long by any means. That's just what I've gathered, I'm no where close to that much power and have no experience that high.
