I guess I will be the first to test the strength of this diff.in an auto.It seems to be pretty stout I just got the spacer finished here are some pics.While the trans is out im getting the converter tightened because I figured it was way to loose,it's unbelievable that I was able to get 94 mph in the 1/8 mile out of it we figured it was 51% slippage and it should be 20%.The 2.4 is obviously making a bunch more torque.Also putting 300m input shaft and some other goodies,we will see how strong this obx really is here in about a month.

Let us know how it all works out for you. I'm ordering the OBX posi soon and having the tranny built up. 6 pack clutch setup, OBX posi, RMVB. He says it should be able to bark 3rd gear. ;)

BTW that's nuts how fast that is. What would that be in 1/4, about low to mid 12's?

According to my calculations it should run around 11.84. One quick car.

Congrats.

ChuckThat was only the first time at the track with this setup and the converter was slipping very bad.Next month im going to bowling green with the corvette club and run the 1/4 show some z06's what a turbo dodge will do.

Make sure that the camera is in an area that will catch a lot of conversation durring the races. People bad mouthing the car before the race, and their reaction afterward is my favorite part of TM videos.
