so how many axles have you broken? to date? have you ever stripped the pinion or crown wheel..,i do heaps of hillclimbs and sprints and am allways very gentle when i leave the start line..maybe i shout just give it heaps of revs as you seem to think the axles are pretty strong then? like i say ive only got 230hp at wheels

hi , awesome mgb v8 man..i had my mgbv8 race car down the quarter mile did a 13.5@103mph..its got 230 hp at the wheels.. ive got an lsd but im still running the standard mgb 4 cylinder salibury axle..can i ask you how long the axle lastest before you brok it and what sort of hp at the wheels are you running?

Hi!

That launch was a big aggressive :)

I had too much nitrous ooff the line. She was running a 150 shot off the line with another 150 shot coming in over 1.5 seconds.

I use second hnad 1800 shafts in mine all the time. If you are using a 1800 mgb ratio diff you might be able to get a front wheel off the ground with good traction if she is putting out 200 at the wheels. Mine now makes 404hp so about 360 at the wheels.

Shame! the car looks fantastic, very interested to know the torque figure for Perry's car, as im putting quite at load thru my halfshafts,
