The engine is built to 1000hp and has a twin plate copper/ ceramic clutch rated to 1200hp. I’m a bit strapped for cash so I’m leaving the rear end stock for now just wondering how much the tail shaft and the m80 diff can handle I can’t find any info anywhere cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/97202-how-much-power-can-a-na-fg-driveline-handle/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,530 Member For: 17y 1m 25d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 21/02/24 07:21 AM Share Posted 21/02/24 07:21 AM You've built the engine but not the rest of the driveline after the clutch?... it's going to be difficult to keep those CV's in their housings and the tailshaft will probably be toast at anything above 300rwkw... never mind your driveshafts but that's a pretty conservative estimation.
