I footbraked my IHRA Dart Sport to a 11.14 ET and 1.47 60' bests for almost 20 years with stock 7260 trans yokes and never broke one. But I also used solid Spicer U-joints, aftermarket driveshaft tubes and billet steel 7260 rear end yokes. Never 2-stepped.
Trans had a 2.74 low gear with a race weight of 3,540+ lbs and a 360.
