Thats why it is at the BEST builder around and should be worth the wait. This summer was so hot anyways I prob would have only used it a couple times so far.

Oh my new TC showed up today so really all I need is some gaskets and that SB

I know Denny's sells their nitrous ready drive shafts with either a Spicer yoke or a Chrome Moly yoke for more money, I bet you can buy the Chrome moly yoke separately from them.

Cool. If your car cant break it I doubt I can.

Anyone have any input as if a binding yoke could have caused a lot of my issues launching the car?

If that kind of carnage was caused by any type of binding, I would think it would have damaged the output shaft and/or the tail housing. What issues are you having?

No the trans looks fine and the DSL did its job.. Tail housing looks good dont see any cracks or missing peices and as far as I can see the output looks nice and straight. Well see for sure when the new yoke gets here. If it is messed up I have everything to put in my TH350 right now, I was just waiting to swap that in with the new motor.

Kyle the car would NOT 60ft for **** anymore. It would rise up then slam the front back down or just blow off the tires. On motor I was shifting into 5th on 28s with 4.10s and On spray it would still be in 4th eliminating the possiblity of a slipping clutch. Its like the car was a total turd with much better parts. I feel like Im going backwards with the car.

I thought you said that you bought your afco shocks from madman? If so call him with your setup and they will get you figured out...something I am going to do one of these days when I swap out my crappy spohn TA for something more adjustable and an aligenment after my PS rack swap. When you make a lot of whole sale changes to the car they usually make it hard to tune into the setup. keep at it
