Default New Aluminum and Carbon Fiber Driveshafts coming soon

That's right folks, more products coming out of design stages.

I'm working on our Camaro Driveshaft designs and will have 2 driveshafts out on the market by late winter or early spring.

These will be one piece driveshafts and will be different then anything on the market.

We supply billet pinion yokes with our driveshafts, that way it gets rid of all the adapters and couplers to provide a nice smooth ride with no vibrations.

We have had great success with our GTO one-piece driveshafts and will carry on the one-piece designs with the new Camaro. I encourage anyone to go see how our one piece carbon fiber driveshafts are working out for the GTO guys http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=307526

Don’t let anyone tell you that a one-piece shaft won’t work, ours work perfect!

As far as strength, our carbon fiber driveshafts are SFI approved and have been dyno tested to 2800 ft lbs of torque and 10,000 rpms!

Our Aluminum shafts will have a 850hp rating and our Carbon fiber shafts will have a 1000+ hp rating.

Thanks
Chris @ Gforce Engineering

Dammit Chris, I wish you'd do this for the CTS-V!

Hmm, I'll get right to work on them. We have sold a few but dont have them on the web site. 4th gen is easy.

It's still too early to throw a price on them, I have some trick billet parts that will go into making these some real innovative and smooth as silk shafts so I better wait till all the #'s come in.

THanks

I can attest to the badassedness of Chris's CF driveshafts. I have one in my Goat. Very nice indeed.

Chris, Sorry to keep asking questions about the CTS-V in the thread for Camaros (consider this a free bump ).....but any timeframe when you'll have the CF or Aluminum one piece drive shafts for the V?

No problem, I hope to have them out early spring or a bit sooner.

Thanks
