I will be interested to see what you think of the torsen up front. I have heard that it can induce understeer and torque steer vs the open diff. Stasis on their race cars tried but stayed open in the end I believe.
Cooling the trans is a good Idea for road race use.
Yeah, it will be interesting Haydn. Where you planning on using the wavetrac in the front or rear of your projects? I would love to try one in the rear but 1300$ is a bit spendy for me. On other forums, they do group buys with 20 people to get the price down to 995$. I say we organize one!!!
I will give good feedback on it. I have a couple of spring track days planned and maybe a Miller day if I can get the trans in and to the dyno. I want to play around with some pickup points on the trailing arms and control arms to see if I can develop less lift and squat under acceleration and braking..

Anybody think a triple torsen drivertrain is a bad idea?
Really, you really went there? Prepare for page 200 coming soon
Hard to believe you only ever did 8 passes...but ok, and how many broken parts did you endure in 2 miles? Drag racing was invented for muscle cars, because they couldn't turn.
I have never been at an open track day for the drag strip. I catch these lame "midnight" drags that allow for 3 passes on a crappy track on a good night. I have only ever been to 3 of them in my life!!! 8-9 passes is pretty accurate!!!
I have launched on the street a few hundred times though!!! It is pretty hard on axles and tranmissions for sure!! This narrow 5 speed I pulled apart last night was beat... poor thing
Well, I thought I had an HTA 3794r secured from a guy out east. Sent paypal, got tracking and then got the tracking number canceled and a full refund because he got a better offer on the way to the post office :(

Isnt that the turbo the Evo guys swear by?
I am sure you can get one for the right price on one of there forums.
Several Evo guys have touched 900whp with them on exotic fuels. The turbine is a little small, but they spool just 500rpm later than an hta3582r. It would have been a wicked turbo for my setup. My eyes are still peeled for one, but it is kindof a rare turbo. I may end up getting one new in the end.

New Retail is 1900$ but used is hard to find for under 1500$. I had a deal at 1200$ but someone offered the guy 1500$ at the last minute. The Evo guys run them with .82 housings to get those 900whp figures. Several cars dipping into the 8s stripped out on that turbo.
the trans would see the same abuse on the street, especially by a terror like Hank.
