Don't worry about those injectors. Get the wife to sew up some little flannelet covers for them.
That 8.8 diff will be unbustable. Strength of the axles and rear end can be an issue with some of the IRS setups. A few of us CR guys have had issues with diff centers and axles with big HP through falcon the BTR setup.
Keep us posted with update pics. I love seeing other people's build ups and ideas.

Mike,
I heard about axle issues with the FF5 guys on their forum and got some beefier axles for the car. These ones are 33.8mm dia (1.330" old school) so should hold up well to an axle breaking issue. I think I will have trouble with keeping the tyres from spinning too much, (315 wheels will be on there) but it comes back to how the whole geometry is set up. If its set up bad, then bad things will happen, if it's set up good, then it should all go smoothly. I'm hoping for the smooth option.
I have just purchased a sewing machine for the girlfriend, sounds like just in time!!!!!.
