drivetrain problems w/ v8, driveshafts and cv joint problems Options

[army dude]

I have gathered a nice collection of pics and saw a picture from underneath the car looking at the tranny and shafts. I know the drivetrain has been pushed bach an inch and a half but the shafts look like they really are angled badly. What problems arise cause of this and what can I do to strengthen the shafts or cv's? Upgrades?
Thanks!

Your factory 901 trani will top you out slightly over 140mph.

The 930 box you can put whatsoever gearing you want in it.. Top speed is not your main concern.

Your main concern is the rpms' at 70mph..

H gear will help..

But that v8 box could push the 914 just fine at 1.5k rpms at 60mph... Finding a box that could do THAT would be awesome.


FYI "a little coin" is not something a 930 box is.. Were taking 6k-10k-and up... depending on how "all out" you go (lsd, gearing, diff.. exct..)

Hold on a little bit, were all trying to find a trani that will hold more hp, and provide very good gear ratio's..

901 box can hold 250-350hp depending on how you drive it.

Bob, the H gear that was sold was
A: used
B: had at least 10 people try to buy it at 200
c: tends to go for 500+

The solution that I mentioned was an audi box that should hold 400hp no problem, but the gear ratio's are very attractive. Also has LSD avalible for it for a decent price to..

Dont have the links for that, but someone does.
