I should have got off it but it was on borrowed time anyway. Haha it ran up over 900awhp this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t feel too bad I broke a nizpro with 400rwkw on 3rd to 4th with slicks. Last 10 minutes of my track day too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fml.I called it! Purely because it was not only miles past its limit but it had also been doing it for so long...Will be interesting to see what the shaft looks like. A quarter twisted before breaking?Place your bets!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll drop off the 6r80 input shaft and converter this week for machining and measuring etc. I reckon I'll get a GM converter modded to match the zf height, so I can get a higher stall speed to take care of any big turbo/big cams issues. Anyhow here's a pic with a finger for scale 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the hell that tiny thing held 500 to 700awkw for as long as it did is kinda crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a spare but I think it'll be all rusted by now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
