Very true but there are not many 300bhp RST's that a pulling less torque than a 180bhp RST, or that dont come in as hard! lol
Also as I said above I had two teeth shear off my input shaft and all I did was accelerate, and i'm very cautious with my gearbox's as I know how weak they are, I was only running 190bhp and about 180ftlb or torque!
The box had only been rebuilt sub 5000miles ago too........ but then again that has nothing to do with the strength of the teeth!
