i broke front and rears at 380bhp,

never really got the chance to try with the t4, they do say the t4 is easier on diffs as it makes its power late,

just try it and see! lol

better having the 2wd diff and beam on it Dave, 7.5 diff will be better,especially as the power is not 100% to the rear.

My mate has a Bara BOX which sound lovely, rear 7" with quaife LSD and an uprated DIFF mount and Front diff with Quaife LSD and strengthening plate. Now he got 520bhp and he did 11.3 quarter mile. He abused the Escort Cossie in the strip for 2years now with hard lounching and till now everything is holding!!!
