Are you guys busting your diffs or having any related issues as a result of running more HP on our cars? Let me know!

Thanks

Differential and transmission failure seem to have a direct correlation between driver and clutch engagement or wheel hop. Stay away from repeatedly dropping the clutch from a standstill or inducing huge amounts of wheel hop and you should be ok. I have been running around(in RWD) for a few thousand miles now at between 570 wheel hp and 650 wheel hp with no issues whatsoever. This is with a rather aggressive clutch setup.

No problems either....also make sure your wheel ratios are within specs if you have upgraded rims/tires.

What about those with a Tip? How much power can that tranny handle, if you six-speeders are blowing clutches?

No driveline problems of any kind with my car after a fairly high power build. Been running well over 2 years.

9ff does some cool stuff for the Tip. You should contact them if you have any questions. I have ridden in a high HP car with the 9ff modified Tip and it was pretty sweet.

Good call. I'm not there yet, but was just curious. I get bored with cars quickly, so each incremental change is appreciated more than just doing it all at once. (For me.)
