anyone using the carbon fibre driveshaft as yet?

just wondering if anyone is using it as yet.....
considering buying....
check my list of mods...is it worth the performance to buy it?

or should I use that money to do some headwork or buy a intake manifold or something?



thanks in advance

I have no personal experience with one, but the only real reason I see for getting one is reduced rear drivetrain breakage. For the extra 10 hp you'll send to the wheels from the lower weight it's hardly worth the cost, regardless of the mod list

this is true very well put, alot of people dont think the same way as you do.

this is one of thouses prouducts where your building a true track car and every pound counts its a nice piece but just not worth the money if it where a grand cheaper i would have got already. but its not worth it

I'm still sold on it for no reason other than drivetrain "flex" protection. I'm just lurking quietly waiting for others to do it and test it out.

I would say get the head done from what i see your block can hold upto 700+ hp get a stage 6 port so you can bring the rpm's to 9200rpm safely so you can really see what that 35R can really do on top end
