2019 Challenger Hellcat Redeye Widebody

IMG_6898.jpeg Hello all I am new to this forum and getting ready to start my drag racing adventure. I have been going to the track for years as a spectator and support for friends but haven’t raced yet. I have a 2019 challenger hellcat redeye widebody that is stock except for a Mishimoto aluminum radiator that I just installed after the second OE radiator started leaking at the bottom corner passenger side. I also have a set of Forgestar 17” beadlocks and 18” front skinnies with 315/50R17 Mikey Thompson ET Street R and 28x6” fronts.
I originally thought I would be fine drag racing this setup but after more research it seems that I am very likely to have either driveshaft, axel or differential issues eventually. Hard launches and wheel hop being the culprit.
I was looking at all the goodies that would help fix this issue, AAD Performance Drag Pak, BMR cradle lockout, differential brace etc and it all started adding up pretty quickly.
By chance, I got in contact with a local racer who is big into the hellcat and pro mod scene and he pretty much assured me I would be snapping axels etc. at the track. He told me he had literally spent thousands and thousands of dollars learning this the hard way. He currently has his hellcat well over 1500hp and is running a solid axel and 4 link set up.
He also told me he had a 2015+Mopar Modified Cradle &complete 9” IRS kit with 3.25 gears, a 4” aluminum drive shaft and the GForce Outlaw axels currently set up with a spool but also has an Eaton Detroit Truetrac that he would sell me for 25 cents on the dollar.
So long story short I am the new owner of this setup and excited to start my journey.
If anyone has any feedback or experience with this suspension set up feel free to fill me in.

Man nothing like starting out and going right for it.
I will say your stock redeye axles and driveshaft are pretty tough. I don’t recommend it but I had one customer take both the stock axle and driveshaft into the 8s. I’ve had plenty others in the mid 9 second range with stock axles. I think you’d been ok unless you start pushing it. Really the big thing is the diff brace and driveshaft. Start going much more then 9.5 axles and yes the aad kit definitely helps.
