I had the NEU in an SC8, geared 13/46 on 5s and the NEU never got hot, 110 at best. I have the Medusa in my D8 buggy, geared 13/48 on 5s and it gets real hot real quick. The SC8 has diff gearing of 43/10, the D8 also uses 43/10. The D8 and the SC8 also had the same size tires, same set of tires for that matter.
So I went ahead and ordered a NEU 1512/2.5/D/F for the buggy and the Medusa will go in my basher/Corr truck project.

Undergeared? Running the numbers in the calc shows a top speed of only about 30mph. IMO an 18t pinion would be a better choice for about 40mph.
