At the top of 3rd gear it broke loose and I was inches from the wall. I saved by total luck. When that happened, my *** puckered up so tight you could have made a pearl! I was done after that. Pulled her on the trailor. Could have been a combo of a few different things. The main being it was cold as a witches tit. Second I think I may be over powering the stock diff. (don't have the Kazz in yet) because every time I broke loose, the car would shoot right. No biggie though, I'll get my cage and have Ray put the Kazz in and tune for pump gas. Come spring time, my *** will be ready!
I did manage 111mph in the 1/8th though.

Alumastars! Nice to see them on an FD. Looks very very nice! Do you run them in the rear as well? I see that you don't in the pic but i didn't know if you maybe took them off or something.

I couldn't get alumastars in the rear seeing as how I didn't want to grind the caliper and nut to the toe link so I just kept the stock wheels on there with ET streets. I'll probably get some in the spring though.

Do you think you would have the same problem with a turbo II diff?

As far as I know TII diffs can hold up to alot more abuse than FD diffs...Ive got a few friends with LS1 FC's and their diffs are holding up fine with 400-500 hp..They race them quite often at the strip as well...

It does reduce intake charge temps, but mine arn't that high to begin with.
If you use Aquamists new flow sensing system , you will be protected if you fail and water flow stops .

holy cow ernie! 111mph is awesome. You're catching up to me quick. I need to get my car back running before you have a faster car than me. j/k Nice to see that crazy mph in the 1/8. What was your 1/8 time?
My last 1/8 I made w/ the slipping clutch was
60' = 1.62s
1/8 = 6.44@114mph.

Race gas simply allows you to move on to the next level in boost/horsepower.
When you run race gas to run 15psi/~400rwh its a waste of money with todays ECUs, but everyone has their personal preference which is respected.
Simply my opinion:-)
