Default GSR Differential strength???

i have a stock gsr tranny in my car and plan to put down around 400 on pump gas. i know im gonna have some serious traction problems and i eventually want to get a quaiffe but unfortunatley its not in my budget now. to sum it all up i just want to know how well the factory diff will hold up with a lot of power but definitely no slicks. and this is a daily driven 99si

From our testing I have conluded that if you run a 25 or larger slick you will def. be in danger of breaking a diff with 300+ hp. I have broken both axles and a diff on 24.5x8x13's in a 350 hp integra, but I side stepped the clutch.

yeah I would like to know this as well, cause Im plaining on hittin 400whp max, but I would run around on 390whp on pumped gas with a FMAX stage 2 and its gonna be daily driven as well, but since I got the SI rims on some 15's. So wouldnt thicker 15's would be fine? or up the tire size?

It will be fine but torque steer would be a bitch
Dont run slicks and your drivetrain will hold.

im not referring to slicks. i drive around on falken azenis pretty much yearround and dont lauch my car hard ever...even if i did it would just spin everywhere. but once traction occurs in 3rd or 4th i was curious if the amount of power going thru the diff will be too much for it.

You should be fine because the car is in motion.

Yah, my friend David has the same promblem. But you he has a CTR tranny so he can hardly grab in the top of 3rd.
