Can someone confirm; the SR16 box is not much stronger than a B14 lsd box, correct??

Yes, hence why I managed to break 3rd gear on a P11 stack on only 10psi boost.... days after doing 3rd gear rolling burnouts.
But when I broke 4th, it was the first pull on high boost. The boost onset came on so quick, when it peaked out she let go. I figured the tires would go up if anything... didn't think the gearbox would break. You just don't hear of 4th going on the P11 transmissions, or 2nd for that matter.
The SR16 box is the same as the B14/P10 etc. It just has different ratios.
