    Are you running without the MAF?

            Hey Nate-

            Was wondering when you would resurface! Let me know how the diff is :)

            This car is built to the hilt. Amazing job on the construction

              Dude, small world again! Thanks for the work on the Diff! It's holding up fine but of course it hasn't been run very hard yet. I don't anticipate much of a shock load so fingers crossed the diff will last.

              Question: I'm still running the oem driveshafts and whatever stub axles you installed. How worried should I be @500whp? Note that I'm not into drag racing but the car will stick for hard 2-3, 3-4 shifts...

                As long as the tires stay not too sticky you hopefully should be ok at 500rwhp for street use. Just dont launch it too hard :)

                If you kill the 84mm cv units I believe ppm and dds both make giant sized 102mm replacement shafts. Z3m is also supposed to be quite a bit stronger at 96mm

                  Sounds great, fingers crossed the tires don't get too sticky... :)

                  Here's a short on ramp video I took yesterday-

                    awesome car Nate -- looks like you did a great job on the swap. I'm close to making mine run, I can't wait to take it for a ride, must be a great feeling.

                        Cheers! Hang in there, it's last bits that take forever. The final product is good fun though, and well worth it!

                          Can you give me some insight on what you did with the p/s pump to the hydroboost? I'd like to lose my fluid reservoir if possible

                            You Bet. The PS lines go like this:

                            Pump > Hydroboost > Rack > Tank w/filter > Pump

                            I used this tank/filter: http://www.pscmotorsports.com/motors...-hose-kit.html

                            -And with the tank above you can run the return off the Hydroboost back to the tank as well. It has two inlets and one outlet.

                                It's mostly a time issue for me. Hard to balance work, life, family, race car habit...
