well in our model cars here with the ls1's ls2's etc... we have a bit of a problem...
inbetween the tailshaft to the diff, there is what they call a " donut " which is a rubber thing that the bolts go through to aparently stop shudder etc.. ( its good in theory, but once u get over 400rwhp, they useless! ) and as im at 500rwhp, i snaped a bolt off it... so im getting the tailshaft extended, balanced and directly bolted up to the diff...
this is a picture of one, no mine.. as i kept twisting and distroying it!

Several folks on this board are over 700rwhp with TC units and some I think have pushed over 800rwhp. If you want quick spool, compact size and awesome warranty...that is the unit to get.

yeah im not sure on how we rate our octane, but i know the guys here dont like running meth... god knows why... just dont like the risk i guess ( on street cars ) my current one is tuned on 98 at 500rwhp standard motor with the gt35r at 12psi ( 8 on low ) and runs fine! just snaps bolts and tyres really!
