Found my differential is shot
Well, Dave at KDR finally installed the differential I got from RTS3GEN this week - should have it dyno tuned later this week. He said my old differential was shot and this was causing my FD to not pull any decent numbers on the dyno. If you guys remember, Dave said he noticed my car taking twice as long to reach redline in 4th gear on the dyno than normal (for a car with my mods) - they spend 3 hours on the dyno and could only muster 300 rwhp for a best run from 10 psi through 16 psi. He said the car felt like the clutch was slipping but it wasn't. Very strange problem that's he's never encountered. My FD was probably dragged before although when I got my FD, it was stock. Hopefully this new diff. will help my rwhp Will keep everyone posted. Planning on running 16 psi sequentially for the street.

That's messed up, man. If the car was dragged before, that could do it. Supposedly its tough to break an FD differential, but if you go with an upgraded unit, you'll be invincible. Good thing you got it fixed right away.
