Thanks mate, was good to back out there. People have blown this diffs up at 400bhp/400 lb ft so didn't want to do a 7,000rpm clutch side step just yet!

I'd say the tyres that are on it look fine though, and should see 1.5s 60fts without too much trouble.
What did the car ever run in the US ? Has much changed since then ?
For sure, a 1.5 60-foot should see a 9-second pass. It never ran at the strip in the US as far as I know, it was a roll race/street racing car.

Not sure if I want to go slicks just yet, but yeah, well happy with the car and its performance.

get them down to say 12psi to start with and launch it hard.
I ran them at 15psi - it's a MT Street SS tyre.
