They were fussy. Greased the splines and they got better, but want to try different nuts to see if they are the problem. That's been added to the To Do List.

I'm guessing we're talking about a modified R8.

That is majorly impressive. ProMod power just a few years ago. My blue car at 1700ish went 184 in the 1/4. That is plus 200mph power in the 1/4 !!!!!

What are the engine specs to hold that much rotational power. Rods must look like tree stumps !! lol.

at first i did the most power i could make on stock rods, it made 1902 , then i built the motor and let it eat. luckily the OG turbo package i went with was enough so i didnt have to change them. they are GT42's.

i took it to the hoonigan this vs that deal and i was supposed to race rob dahm in his 4 rotor but he bent a driveshaft so i got to race bad daddy braddy in his bucket. this was on the stock motor and it was still WAY too much power for a dusty air strip.
