Diff/Trans reliability for 500whp ?
#21
Thanks for all the replies, great info.
This is my spring/summer/fall car as well so when I drive it I like to have fun....wife would barely drive in it w/ me NA....not she probably won't go near it, laf
I'm supposed to get mine back within the next week and just wanted to be sure before getting on it too much. I'm sure it will take a bit of time to get used to the add power, clutch, etc. Unfortunately the season is coming quickly to an end here in OH and want to get out in it before have to garage it till April !

546 whp here, and I have yet to break my diff or trans. I've snapped 2 axles, but those were due to wheel hop. I drive it hard, taken to the track many times and its never been a problem. I put an AP2 trans, driveshaft, and diff in my AP1 before boosting. I'm not really sure how the AP1 stuff would hold up.

I think my only saving grace is boost by speed, 2nd gear ramps up from like 12 to 20 by top of it. I think if I didn't limit boost in 2nd it would have went a long time ago. though my 2nd is still a ticking time bomb, even if it goes tomorrow, it lasted LONGER, way LONGER than I could have hoped for.

So if grip was not a problem how much tq would you be happy to put down in each gear 300wtq 1st , 350 second 400 3rd ?. Ive been getting down 300wtq 440whp in 1st now looking to put the boost up ???
