If I'm not mistaken the GSCs are still rated at 1000hp just a bit lighter that the turbo tuffs. Turbo tuffs are like 608 grams I believe...

So i just got a call from the shop.

I was unaware that you have to get a new ring and pinion when going with the quaife diff.

The site is kind of misleading...

Carbon Fiber FTW... However than would have to be a million ply to maybe make one combustion cycle...
