Default output shafts?

Has anyone changed their output shafts and if so what you you use? I am putting down over 600 rwhp. So I am going to put a new clutch in and I am thinking of changing out the output shaft. Any info with help.. Thanks

I put down over 700whp and I use the ECS hardened output shaft.

Check this page:

If you have any more questions, you should give ECS a call. ECS is known for their excellent work, products and customer service. I've primarily dealt with Chris and he's a great guy to deal with.

With 600 HP it's a pay me now or pay me later..... ECS is a reliable group and there are several other vendors that sell them...Probably should go ahead and change...

I'm making 200hp less than you, and snapped mine last week.
