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?

Stock 901 box, Kennedy VW flywheels with stage 4 clutch/PP package. VERY light flywheel, spins faster than any v8 car I have seen. (good and bad thing) Engine is a rebuilt 350, with smog heads and everything else done to it.. lol The heads are my limiting factor.. Swapping them out with some good heads will give me 75-100 more hp.. But if I do that, my 901 will be toast!! Im at 275rwt (or more, done a 'few' things to the car...) or 315 crank tq. I drive it pretty easy, and my tires hook up. ran with 255's on the rear for a while. Will be putting 285's with stickyer tires... Im known as the CV killer.. have gone through 3... can swap in 30 mins with the tools in my trunk (I always carry a spare) |
