Yes but only if he goes through the rev range so to speak. But still some spin as the t28 comes in. Harsh kick of the boost

Full throttle on the road in third is hard work

In some of these 400hp valver lumps surely only fifth has decent traction on the road.

How long it last will come down to driver too

this is what happened to my jc5 with 360ft lb of torque with a lsd pics below

Thats good news then? the box is still intact?

**GTphil** · 08-09-2012, 22:52

That is one minced box/shaft

Was that at pod last weekend?

**Tony Walker** · 08-09-2012, 22:56

Geusing you can just swap the diff then is it an LSD?

**turbo ted** · 08-09-2012, 23:07

**Tony Walker** · 08-09-2012, 23:14

outer hub splines none this year as i done the 172/182 hub conversion,if your still using 5 hubs and the ends of 5 driveshafts they will snap clean off.

How times have moved on! Driveshafts used to be almost indestructible!
