Does it have billet or broached hubs for larger outer stub shafts and 300m mid bars? If not the diff may be strong but your still running on pretty much stock half shafts which could be an issue if it starts wheelhopping.

Regardless though I would like to hear more about the setup I am planning on custom mounting a viper diff in my FC once I start breaking the stock rear end.

Default viper rear end

hi it has custom 300m drive shafts in it so i think the cvs will be the weak spot but time will tell,

Dude, you've got a couple of typeo's in the post. You keep referring to the displacement as a 7.0L and I know that can't be right. You would have to be insane!!!!!!

Looks good, very similar turbo placement to the TT FD I've been working on. Merging the downpipes?

That's just a 427. Yes it's big but it's done all the time.

I can't tell if it's an FD or an FC.
Engine bay looks to be an FC but not sure.

Looks like it's going to be badass either way.

did you resleeve the motor? If not that won't handle much boost safely.

Looks like a wicked project and those turbos should instaspool!

Can you post up some pics of the Viper rear end setup? Those are very stout indeed.
