Next driveline setup...
We've got everything arranged for install next week. Here's our last shot on getting this to work:
Ram Clutch
Fidanza Flywheel
RPM Level 5 tranny with 9310-300m Hardened main shaft
DTE Strut brace
PSM 3.90s with dual hardened output shafts and new clutch packs

I see your switching the main shaft also. At what power level should this be swapped out. I understand it all depends on what your doing with the car, but I'm asking for cars that will never see 5 or 6k dump at the track. Thanks

Your probably right... His car probably wont EVER cut a 1.50 60ft..
Why??? Because he cuts 1.40-11.45 on a regular basis!!!.

9310 is brittle and will not flex at all. 4340-300M will flex and much stronger. Only problem not available anymore.

Phil what about those lightweight steel flywheels? Do they have the same affect of a aluminum flywheel? Also do you know what the approximate weight difference was?

I read the ENTIRE thread. And it NEVER mentioned your car..If it would have, I would have NEVER posted.
Your EXACT quote was.
" This wasn't a comment on your driving style it was just my way of saying the car won't ever make a 1.5 60ft time."
So before you jump in my ****, maybe you should read the ENTIRE thread yourself.
And it looks like from Phils last response that he is under the same assumption I was. So are you gonna jump back on him and tell Him to read the whole thread as well???

I have read all the posts on this car and know all the times he has posted. I'm just trying to learn a little more about the weak points in the drive line, but i appreciate you being soooo helpful.
