318 and 10's
In terms of challenging people to think outside the box, it's not that hard. It's also much easier to do when the initiator does not put themselves as the example. That goes back to humility - and the age of 23. Those two things are mutually exclusive for another few years - at least in my experience...lol.
I said it before, and back even in the BJR years - it can be done. With a lot of work and some knowledge - it could even be done with factory casting 318 heads if you can get enough air though them. So simple physics says it can be done.
If you want to challenge - go read some of the 273 build threads by member 273. We had some very good disccussions without the chest thumping (yes - I read the initial post that way too..) and some cool discussion. Also - be prepared to not only discuss, but divulge.
Or - post avideo. I'm curious to see it run.
PS - Shearing axles isn't all about power - especially if it's not at the hit. So you might want to make sure the housing's not bent. You might have lost ET in that...
