yeah man you'll be fine

of course if you abuse it often, or use grippy tyres at the strip, you'll pop it given a few months/years

i was running a t50 on my gze turbo it pop with 200hsp after a year, one day after 1000kg clutch and lighten fly wheel was instilled. it went half way through second at 12psi sounds of metal every where. looking at a new w58 from japan or a bullshit gearset or trusting china on the copy.
ive been reading a lot of stuff its a custom tail shaft behind w5* and should do the diff upgrade if aus speck T or bigger

mine was going fine for three quarters of a year, but then once i put re001 on the back she started whining like a bitch. same with my diff, its a jap disc t series and it was fine before the tyres but as soon as i swapped, the noises became alot louder.
