NOS never hurt a car ever did it.
At least that goes to show that car is making good power. You thought it was fast before but just think how fast it will go when the wheels are actually connected to the engine!

Need to get some after market half shafts in it at the same time, or it's hard left (or right) at the tree

Ouch - you really gave it a pounding that day mate! My grandad had more teeth left than that on his 96th birthday!
