You will want a 31T shaft from the Ford aftermarket T56 . You will have to mod. the extension to accept the larger yoke & rear bushing.The shaft itself will need trimming for length as well. You could also go the Viper output route with the same mods required. The Viper is a 30T part (you said you wanted the strongest thats the 31T)

is the viper shaft a stronger alloy than a stock f-body? G-force actually uses a different alloy for the mainshaft so it's probably a lot stronger than the Viper shaft and you can still use a stock splined driveshaft. I would go G-force although it is very pricey. Just do it once and pretty much never worry about it again.

The Viper design is a 30T and is the same material( as all T56s) . The strength is simply a matter of girth.The 31T is still the max.( there are some obscure 32T shafts but will not be easily accomodated into your castings) I can't speak for the Gforce stuff 'cause I don't know.

thats what i thought i read... so in order to put in a 700 dollar main shaft i have to buy a 1000 syncro kit.
i would tend to favor the 28sp g force since i dont have to hassle with changing the driveshaft but i'm allready over their rating as well.. and i would rather snap the cheap ones than the expensive ones!

no thanks i have a backup trans on the way. need to get good parts in the broke one while its apart
g force said that to use their shaft you had to buy the gear sets and synchros', meaning over 3k. (they can also do a viper upgrade to that one with their viper shaft)
