Our new Driveshafts - take a look I wanted to let everyone know about some exciting new driveshaft developments that we have been working on the last few months.
We talked to DynoTech Driveshafts at SEMA about making the high end splined slip style driveshafts they make for the newer Mustangs available for the G8's.
They have the expertise in designing and manufacturing some of the most high tech driveshafts on the market and we have the expertise in drivetrain components and how to mount the shafts to the transmission and rear diff.
So we designed a billet steel adapter for the front and rear to bolt these new driveshafts onto the G8's.
The new DynoTech splined slip shafts are nothing like the old school steel shafts that you would find in a truck or an old school hot rod.
These are all aluminum splined slip shaft assemblies designed with a tightly fitted splined assembly that lets the shaft plunge in and out but also gives the shaft the ability to spin vibration free and be incredibly strong.
The splined area comes with a boot to protect if from dust and other road debris.
The front of the shaft uses a solid core 1330 series u-joint, the rear gets a larger 1350 series u-joint.
These high end u-joints that Dynotech uses even come with delrin cups on the grease caps!
Now onto the good stuff, since there is no cv joint on the front of these shafts you get a substantial weight savings over other aftermarket shafts.
No cv joint also means you don’t have an extra 5 lbs sitting on the front of your driveshaft to put stress and loads on the output shaft and seals.
It also means you don’t have a cv joint that might wear out or need serviced.
A stock manual transmission driveshaft weighs in at 24 lbs. The new DynoTech shaft weighs only 14 lbs. That is a full 10 lb reduction in the rotating mass!
These shafts are a proven performer in the Mustang market and are rated to 900hp and have been to speeds well beyond what we would consider highway speed LOL
The new DynoTech shafts will sell for $899. and comes with our billet steel adapters for the front and rear that are machined to positively locate in the stock 3 finger yoke for a perfect fit and alignment.
You can also up-grade to our rear billet pinion yoke that replaces the stock 3 finger yoke and adapter. This is the most precise and strongest method to mount a driveshaft to the rear.
We only made enough piece to build a few of these shafts right now but will have more in a couple weeks.
This is the same shaft we have used on our 9" kits on the Camaro as shown below.
It fits great, looks great, it's light weight and is vibration free.
Here is the same shaft installed with our 9" kit.
And now for some more cool stuff..
We've been working with PST Driveshafts also on a slip yoke shaft for the automatic cars, it's very similar to what you would run with a 4L80 or TH400.
A member on the forum that goes by the name Wacker has been testing a slip yoke carbon fiber shaft for us for awhile now.
This slip yoke driveshaft completely does away with the cv joints and adapters if you go with our billet pinion yoke on the rear.
We can also supply this shaft with an adapter on the rear if you don’t want to mess with the billet yoke.
The Carbon fiber slip yoke shaft only weighs 12 lbs !!
The stock shaft weighs 24 lbs with a total weight savings of 12 lbs!
That is a considerable weight savings, the reduction in rotating mass alone will add some power.
The shaft shown is with your standard Spicer yoke but we can also supply the slip yoke from Strange Engineering in a billet style for an up-grade.
The Carbon Fiber shafts will be $1199. with the adapter and $1399. with a billet pinion yoke instead of an adapter.
Give us a call if you have any questions.
