i would be very suprised if a factory rear end would last anywhere near 400hp with any form of abuse, and lets face it, you dont build a 400hp motor to not thrash it

the kiwi cars over hear had something wrong with their origional carrier so had to substitue, and they broke lol badly lol

Razor, I would be owrries if we broke our diff lol

Exactly my conclusion made at the beginning of page one...the horse is quite dead now...
