surely 90% of the likelyhood of diffs breaking would be via dropping the clutch at high rpm and smashing through the gears?
Like the stock clutch being good if its not dragged surely the stock line can easily cope with 500-600bhp "IF" its not abused in drag conditions for example with 5k drops?
I agree that it's normally clutch dumpings that cause the highest stress on the drivetrain. The only bigger stress would be axle tramp.
From what I've gathered, it's good practice to engage the clutch slightly while sat on the line to pre-load all the gears so backlash is taken up. This removes the 'impact' part of the stress when the clutch does finally come up.
