Just got a '78 vette and want to put a 540 in it with nitrous. Like to keep the IRS, been reading about Toms stuff, gonna call over there today but anyone on here running that kinda power with IRS?
thx, Mark

You can, but how long it will last is the real question.
I got a couple of calls this week, you may have been one, anyway with 700-1000hp you're going to need the 12 bolt, 1480 axle kit and about $7000 not including price increase due on 4/1. Might be better to get a solid axle car and build a street car out of the '78.

I may be wrong but I don't think a Jag diff is going to hold up to 1000. A Ford 9" conversion may be better but it's debateable on which is stronger, the 9" or 12 bolt!
