Marty, I know you are using plunging cv joints at both ends of the axles, but if you were using one fixed and one plunging cv joint on each axle, which cv joints would you use? Are you using anything exotic or are they basic? Just wondering how much power the basic cv joints with chromoly cages can handle.

@NorCalScott Due to the angles (not exceeding 17°) created by the 'Flipped transaxle I chose to put the plunging ( modified 930) c/v's in at both ends. The chrome moly cages also work with polished surfaces on interior of these joints. In conjunction with the c/v lube that we use (discussed earlier in thread) we are expecting this setup to survive 1,000 rwhp with NO drag race launching; and at least 4 club racing events before disassembling/ inspecting/ and hopefully returning to service. A second back up set of Sway-Away 300m axles in reserve. CV joints sourced through McKenzie Performance in O/C California.
