Well, I was on my way to run my 9 second pass, well it would have been. Car ran perfect and it HOOKED.. HARD! So hard, this happened! I guess the stock diff can only take so much abuse!! HAHAHA

Normally I run 1.5 - 1.6 60fts. This hooked WAAAAY harder than that and I guess it's what it took to break it. I have almost 220 passes on this diff so it doesn't owe me a thing.

Thanks to Brent for helping me change over to another diff at the track, and video. We almost got it in, in time for another pass. lol Drove it home though. :) Back on Friday, maybe? :D

wow that is ridiculous!!

Who did the rebuild in the past ?? and what parts were used ?

A local shop. OEM diff, nothing special.

TRD is next with some extra care of parts. A few small things will be done to make things a little stronger, thanks Ian for the heads up. :)

The launch was insane! It was a MUCH harder launch than my 1.55 previous! One of the guys come over and said, holy crap, that car HOOKED, then bang! lol

it's hard to believe a OEM diff can handle over 220 passes and 800 + hp.

Well, not 220 at this power level. I have gone from 500 then 620 then 800 plus to here. That and I run on the street etc...

but if i was to choose a diff i would go for kazzz lsd it is a very stuiped stroung billet chunk vs the trd unit with some cast parts

2 wasy clunk 1.5 way not so much if any

you will go though ring gear/pion befor any thing els

plus most of all the imported cars come with kazzz's

Nice job Duane! That video was perfect... so violent.
Good thing it happened at the 60' or it could've been disastrous!

Car sounds absolutely incredible :bigthumb:
