How much can a stock driveshaft take I'm just getting a feel if I'll be walking home from the track <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
I'm installing a Strange 12 bolt with 3.73 gears and a Ram clutch.Tires will be 315 Nitto Dr's.
I get fairly good traction and pulled 1.9's on stock rubber with stock clutch and rear when other people only pull 2.0-2.2's.
A'm I pushing the envelope with the Mod's I have?
Track time listed is before Cam.

Re: How much can a stock driveshaft take If you hook, the aluminum one will go boom most likely considering there is a lot of slack in the M6 drivetrains...
I would get a Denny's driveshaft and put a slick on that car and call it a day... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
