Nice. I always thought this would be a great combo for higher HP FI cars. If I ever blow my differential, I'll probably do something similar.

Start saving now, with 363 ft lbs torque it won't be long. a045.gif


My last rear end just started making noises and then more noises. frown.gif No sudden trauma.


I need to pop the flanges on the last rear end and do a post mortum examination.
I think the torsen might be involved. It made clunking noise on hard left turns with the clutch in or tranny in neutral. Never the other direction. It only did this after warming up. After 6 months of the clunking, it started whining and then it went quickly to non functioning with a loud bang at low speed with very little throttle.
I will do a new thread when I get it apart.

It is better to make torque at high rpm than at low rpm when you can take advantage of gearing.
284.3 ft lbs of torque at 9400 rpm
