So I was a little worried if my rear would take a big high speed power blast.

Only plan to take it to the track once or twice just to see what kind of numbers it will put down.
Well hurry up and get to the track will ya..LOL. I want to know if it will take the twin-disk abuse off the line. Let me know how it goes..I'm a couple weeks out yet..have parts on order.

Well Pit,

You're way ahead of me. My car is in pieces getting painted up at ACP after the conversion from a coupe to a FRC, along with a wide body kit.

I probably won't get to the track this year. I have a lot of interior work to do once it comes home plus I need to straighten out a few mechanical and electrical problems.

The twin textralia and rear held up okay to the power of the maggie, but I never weally launched the car at 5K rpms.

If I was going to launch it the hard I'd buy the DTE side covers too as i thing that is torsion really hits when you drop the clutch.
