I've been spending all of my free time underneath my 914 getting it ready for a track day tomorrow and therefore I've not checked in on this thread. The good news is the car is ready. I still, however, want to figure out CVs for the future....

Are you running 914 CVs or bigger ones? The 914 CVs aren't available anymore, so some are using modified Beetle joints (same size and almost the same thing). Some folks are upgrading to 944 joints, which requires 100mm stub axles and tranny flanges, and a modification to the 914 axles. Or upgrade to 911 or 930 axles/CVs(pricier).
Right now I'm running 914 CVs. Can beetle CVs handle much torque? Owning a 1966 bus I can attest to a complete lack of torque. Obviously a 914-6 with a warmed over engine puts out significant more torque.
