Hi Neil
Bara uprates the 7" VC to 180Nm on the standard VC plates
however there are Nickle VC plates available for the 7" which will increase the Viscosity to 240Nm which is nearly 10 times more preload than standard ,the prices of the Nickle plates are more expensive tho
the 7.5" VC can be uprated to 240Nm on standard plates and 400Nm on the Nickle plates due to the actual size of the 7.5 diff it's alot bigger than the 7" unit
as for the planet gears they are uprated items that he makes himself and me being 100% honest i couldn't tell you how much torque they can handle he has fitted quite a few to rally cars and seem to last ok but i think the rally car use alot less power than your car but some of the rally cars will have more low down torque than you
Bara told me a few times now, if people are going to launch their cars time and time again then they might be better of with a plated diff or an atb something that will do away with the planet gears
you cant get a better more road freindly diff than a VC item in simple terms
cheers Marco
