Also, during the first week in March I am having my roll cage put it. It will be done by Scott at Izzy's Custom Cages in STL, MO. The cage will be a 6 point cage with swing-out door bars. SCCA and NHRA legal for 9.99 ET or slower.

Thats why you use the craddle that Peter farrell, Adam suwarutari, and Ari uses...
They were cutting 1.3x 60 ft times with the stock case all day long with no failures with over 650 whp, the reason the case breaks is because the pinion pushes back and up and it splits the case right at the pinion...the craddle dissapates the energy all the way to the back of the case, so it wants to lift the whole case up, not just where the power plant frame connects to the nose of the case, which where they usually break and prevents wheel hop damage (which is usually what destroys things anyway)....just seems like a lot of extra work to do and expensive. GOod luck with the install though

Hey Phil, seems like your putting that Turbo kit to work! Glad to see you turning out the #'s. BTW Phil the stock diff is not weak at all, don't beleive everything you read....... here is a link of Magnus's Rx-7 3 rotor lauching, stock diff with KAZZ and moly axles, no problems ever!

There are only 2 guys running the Cobra diff setup that I am aware of but both are modified from the original Jim Lab setup. Here are the pics, do these two look like yours?

You'll need a 5 point harness that's up to date, firejacket, three inch studs, driveshaft loop, trans scatter shield, properly mounted battery in a sealed moroso etc. box, battery cut off switch, 6 point roll bar with 6X6 mounting plates etc. etc. etc.
That's just to run 10.00 and slower
