That is totally true. KimWe twisted two 8 3/4 housing with 360 with cars weighting less the 3000 lbs...using a transbrake.
All the money in the world invested in a 8 3/4 it still will eat ring gears.....

At the risk of sounding like a complete jerk...Ever had a violent trans explosion because of failed 8/34 rear , I was lucky , but it didnt feel so at the time !-------3600 pound hemi , back in the day-
yes ,14 and 16'' slicks did hook up a few times. We got to striping ring gears in the 8 3/4 , axles held up surprisingly well .Wouldn't it also depend on how well your tires hook up ?

That there is a combo I’d not ever run. 3600lbs. + HEMI + 8-3/4 = not good.
Subtract 800 lbs. powered by a small block (equals a lot less torque) equals longer life. Subtract more weight, longer life, foot braking, longer life... etc...
Everything has a failure point.
I’m not here to argue.
