I hear numerous rumors of the possibility of messing up your OEM chasis or differential on FI over 400whp...

I do a lot of racing, and although I never race from the dig, these stories have
me worried

I have a mase kit that peaked at 465whp/ 354wtq
and I'm still running everything completely stock with the chasis and differential.
i have a 2008 @ 26,000 miles and I haven't had any problems yet,
but will this just be a matter of time?

Let me know your experiences...

 

stock used diffs are cheap now. ride it to the ground!

 

Smash the loud pedal

 

I have EVS differential collars. I don"t know exactly how much they help but I have had no problems while having them on

 

Link to a story where someone's chassis got messed up?

 

Running a stage 2 puddy mod diff. Had 4.77 gears, just went back to 4.10 due to a lot of highway driving. Sure do miss the 4.77 though.

CV joints are wearing out along with wheel bearings. Snapped the driver side axle before. That's about it.

 

I second this. What do you mean by people are messing up their chassis?

 

let me edit my wording differently- i mean i hear about "the possibility of" problems with the oem differential on FI over 400whp generally speaking...

I guess what I'm trying to find out is if I need to be prepared to replace the differential (or other things) after time with the way I'm pushing my kit on 100% stock parts...OR... do you guys not really have any problems with this stuff in the long run?

 

Have some extra money to spend to either replace or build your drive train.

 

Change the diff fluid with nice gear oil and don't worry about it if you don't drag.
