Some said I would never do it but it happened. I snapped my H165 on a launch off the line yesterday. I broke the left side axle. Things keep breaking on me. The A14 motor ran similar times as the A15. I got about 6 runs in that afternoon but when we went to the trophy round, it snapped in my first heat race.
I pretty sure that welding the H165 spider gears and applying all that torque with the supercharger and nitrous just over powered it.
I am actually happy it did. Next year I am moving up to the NAPZ24 motor and it would have happened for sure. Now I can rip the whole thing out from front to back and start fresh.
I am going to pick up a H190 today form Oliver at Z-Specialties.

Its nice that he is only 5 miles down the road. He happens to have one out of a 1970 Roadster.
All in fun!
