That's some serious torque through that diff, its a wonder the T5 is hanging in there at all...

lower diff gears have seemed to help the T5 last a little longer but causeing havock with diffs LOL estimated 350rwhp+ maybe but enough torque to rip the tyres off the road when it gets in the zone in 4th gear bit unnerving when it sparks up both tyres at 150kmh under full throttle LOL drags on the weekend tank full of avgas/95 mix, hoosiers on,4.11 diff (may need to raise limter 500-1000) :think: and are prepared to raise boost to 18psi if we get close to the next time bracket and get greedy :mrgreen: mines staying home and ill just take pics,videos and tune all weekend :thumbdown: if we can go out and do consistant 12.6 like we did last time after a days practise we did 13.3's all day but altered launch techneque later to go 12.6 hoping to do the same this time and go 11's
