Hey guys,
The title pretty much says it all. How much HP/torque can i put through the stock rear end without worrying about it self-destructing.
This is for an asphalt-track car, in a series which has very few restrictions. we're looking at using a '95 BMW 325i engine & transmission. 189hp, and 181ft-lbs of torque. primarily because we can get it cheap.
Will the rear end survive an endurance race (18 hours) with that kind of HP going through it?
By the way, we're using fully-synthetic 80-90W gear oil.
