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?

I'd just give them a call.

And, what do you have in that thing to make that kind of power? (I'll probably be splitting this portion off later).

412 ci LS2 M6 that makes 506 rwhp NA and then for the strip I'm using a bit of spray. About 150 shot worth.

The car is a lot of fun, not really good at any one thing, but pretty good at most.


Suspension has been set up for autocross, motor and drivetrain (except having a real differential instead of a spool) for drag racing. the interior still has all the factory options(Ac, power everything and a CM roll bar)

The car is starting to get heavy so I'm going to try to lighten it up a bit to help it perform a little better at everything. This year I want to do a K member, possibly the drive shaft, and light weight carpet. I also may have access to a light weight WS6 hood to replace the WS6 hood. I think all of these would help me shed up to 75-90 lbs.

My diff does not seem to like the torque combined with the weight about 3800lbs with me in it. Broke the spiders at an autocross and 5 weeks later took 8 teeth of the year old ring and pinion at a drag event.

I also thought the CF shaft might soften the M6 hit on the launch.

Thats the Coles notes on it.
