I know there was some interest in these on the board, and we have a thread about it in one of the forums right now. So, if anyone is interested.

I just hung up with ACPT. If we can GP 5+ of these, they will be $200 off of the regular $795 and $40 freight (48 states of the US only). Meaning, $595 each (plus shipping).

The tech info is this:

Aluminum yokes.
800 ft lbs torque rating
3 1/4" OD
12,500 RPM critical speed

For an additional $100 you can have (and I know you guys will love this one).....

3 3/4 OD
2000 ft lbs torque rating
14,500 RPM critical speed


Anyone interested?

Well, as luck would have it I just brought my driveshaft in yesterday to get a stronger replacement made, so I'm not in the market, but I'm curious.

Is the 800 lb*ft TQ rating for the base driveshaft the TQ it can take at the driveshaft? If so, if we make 400 lb*ft TQ at the flywheel and 1st gear is about 3:1, I'm thinking the shaft goes poof into a cloud of dust.

I got the impression it was flywheel torque, but I can verify that information. Also, since we don't see these things exploding on the various high HP cars they are under, that sorta verifies that feeling.
