    T -case and high speed

    Kind of a loaded question, but at what speed should I limit the car to in terms of keeping the T-case intact with the addition of a blower?

    say, 130-135ish?? not that I would ever go that fast, trying to get an idea of the limits of the stock T-case and high speed.

    So little performance work, actually I think none, has been done with the new style TC so that no one knows. I don't think high speeds would put enough strain on the TC to cause a failure.

    I would "hope" it's good up to at least the factory setting for the speed limiter... 155-ish for an RT/AWD?

    Do you happen to have anymore info on the new T-cases?? was there an improvement or was the design just changed??

    I don't plan on pushing more than 450-460lbs. ft. to the wheel (about 500ish at the crank??)

    I have never owned a high hp AWD before.. I often imagine the gears eating itself up at a high enough speed, but than again.. the rear would probably do the same lulz

    Not looking for high speed runs away, just hit ya in ya gut low end torque

    Honestly, I wouldn't dare go any higher than 90 with the stock suspension and tires rofl

    The 12 was PLANTED to the ground, where as this feels like it likes to wander. Not as bad as my old modded 05 SRT-4 though, wanna talk about scary at high speeds? lol

    yikes.. my 12 only went up to 130.. sometimes 128. It felt like it had a lot more behind it though. The limiter just cut it out.
