You can mini-spool it.

Disclaimer: This is a really bad idea, especially for drag racing, especially with your power level, and especially with the ring gear size. Of the two rear end guys I have used (both had/have 30+ years experience with rears) they were both very adamant about mini spools being for dirt track racing only. If you bust an axle shaft you can do a header into the other lane, or the wall.

Doing a "Lincoln Locker" will do the same thing, but the welds need to be good or it's a bomb. Any spatter or slag will make short work of the gear set. And you run into the same danger issues. Be real here. Your car will do 140 through the traps. You are making big boy power.

I hear you, and I am not doing a mini spool, but have read if you get one, and weld it all into one piece its marginally better. From what I read a properly welded up posi isn't horrible but I guess its all a potshot.

Just wanna race my car but even doing lame launches, no proper burnout kicks the rear out mid track (that pic you got of me mid ramming speed into Kirk)

Thinking out loud here cause I am poor and wanna go fast.
