In this months issue is a killer article on new upgrades to our differentials, halfshafts, and suppension that will make them withstand 1000HP. And its not a straight axle conversion.

Encase anyone wanted to know.

Saw it....awesome!

I picked it up too. Looks good. The only thing I would like to do still from it is the aluminum crossmember washers and space down my strut bracket about 1/2" - don't have room for more.

 

Anyone else doing this stuff already?

anyone got a copy of this article and a scanner..

Im so broke right now I might have to switch to Johnny Walker Red in the near future.

Here's the kit

I dream about NEEDING to strengthen my rear end.  That would mean I have a WHOLE LOT more horsepower than the 190 + no cat that I am current cranking out.  Ah, the sweet motors of the early '80s.    Oh, let me correct that...  190HP plus  maybe 20HP for cat removal minus maybe 20HP for 24 years and 100K miles on the motor  =  right back where it started: woefully inadequate.  Oh well, as soon as I get past the last emissions test this year and get the wife more adjusted to the ideal of "spending good money to make a car use more gas and make more noise", maybe I can improve that situation a bit.    

A stronger rear end?  how about situps and deep knee bends?

Sorry about that guys. Couldn't help it.

It is an interesting kit.   But I'm a long way away from needing it.
