    Im seeking opinions on whether or not this diff combo is suitable for my application.
    Donovan 392 nostalgia fuel motor in a 180" FED. Only race 3 or 4 times a year. 6.5 compression. 85% nitro, 8/71, 5 amp mag, 1200 pump, crowerglide, direct drive etc...aiming for 6.20's at 230mph.

    The diff center I have is a new Moser through bolt aluminium case, 3.250 bearing size. Lenco 35 spline spool, Richmond 3.89 pro gears. very good quality, aftermarket 35 spline axles that have 1" of spline length in the high tensile steel driveplates.

    Is this diff center and axle combo good enough to handle my nitro combo?

    Cheers
    Dave.

    Rules state,... Floater rear end mandatory, with a supercharger, or nitromethane or running 6.50 or quicker,and or 210 mph and faster.
    .unless they just let you slide threw tech. Adv.Et rules

    just thought you should Know.

    What size slick you going to be running,..id think about a 3.40-3.70 range

    I forgot to mention, it is a floater rear. The hubs are large billet 6061 alloy with MW studs 5 x 5" and spindles are 2.5" diameter 4340 in a professionaly fabricated 9" housing.
    12" slicks. This was an alcohol car that ran 7.0 at 200 which I am stepping up to Nitro.

    Thanks for the advise.
    Cheers!
