which is better?? i have found two techniques when porting my own tb, there is the cut one side off of the middle part as shown in picture 1 and 2 OR grinding down between the screws as in picture 3 and 4. would it be ok to cut off the front part and then grind between the back part??

im sure someone has an opinion...im jsut worried if i cut the top off and then also grind between the screws on the back it may not have enough strength?? i dunno

I have also done testing of my own on how durable the half shaft mod is and let me put it to ya this way- I had to bow up on it to break it with my hands and Ive gotta grip good enough for 150 lbs or better. One thing Ive always done though is use #6 washers under the screws to reinforce them since the head design is tapered to fit the front half of the shaft and since that is gone now I use them to spread the load out more evenly

Not yet. JRP has a couple of ported TBs that he was going to have tested but I think it was put on a back burner so he could get his ride back going again(one of them is one of mine).
