GSL diff. good to hold 13B Turbo?

Ok my question is, do the GSL rear axle would be able to hold like 250hp ? ..

2- Do the 12A Tranny would be able to hold the turbo as well?


Thanks a lot for your answers.

Of course it'll hold it to a certain point, Depends on how hard you beat on it. The tranny probably wont last too long with 250hp...thats over twice the power it was made to handle...As far as the rear end, as long as you dont have slicks and do hard launches it should be fine.
Atleast thats what i've seen on the forum.

Guy I know blew his rear end on a streetported 12a. I'm pretty sure it was because he was driving around like an ******* on mickey thompson 245 13 inch tires.

Hey let us know how that goes, I've heard that you have to modify the rear to amke it work right due to different length axels on each side.

It's .75 inches wider on each side. Either way, the widebody will go on in a couple of months.
