Stock output shafts suck!!!!!
Ok the stock GM output shaft is set up to fail. I know I know their not ment for my 430hp but still. For all of you that have seen one know what im talking about, mine broke off right at the gear. On the very smallest part of the shaft. Ill get a pic up for those that havnt seen one. Man my LPE one looks soooo much better, and was 60 bucks cheaper than a stock one from GM. odd huh?

GM is not stupid.. They know people are gonna break em. They are hoping they do it after the warranty...Thank god an LPE shaft is going in when I have my Clutch installed in a few weeks..
