I've hurt two standard R200's at the drags with a fair bit less than 700hp. They weren't fresh diffs so i couldn't say how good they are new but i'd be shelling out for an aftermarket centre and a complete freshen up of the bearings/seals etc.

Yep pual or other members mark34GTR 9.11Q/M and over 1000hp or theo 8s big HP

Even could try CRD many 1000hp cars there

Yep 1000 hp of 26 - True 700hp of 26/30 -2500ft lb of torque - this is my bone of contention -= wonder how the standard will stand up - is the tomei diff -rear -worth buying - how much stronger is it realy ??

by the sounds of it youve spent alot of cash on a monster engine, wouldnt the best option be to build a driveline to maximise your money spent on the engine? sorry if its not on topic just made sense in my head lol.

Yep your right- have PPG straight cut and NPC clutch - just want to know wether it is justified to spend the rest - sometimes you can spend money unessaserily just because some poelple just have to have name brands !?

i think i will need to up grade axles - diff - dun no?

I know someone ran 9's with the stock diff and still stock axles on with his 8's

You will be fine. Change it only if it wears out/ need to :unsure:

Yeah we are running STD diff and axles...a good trick is to paint a thin white line on the axles....check them every now and then too see how much they have twisted. We will continue to run it like this till it breaks. I believe Mark Jacobsen was running a stock set-up too until just recently without any trouble.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
