Very cool!!! Question though I have a 2002 at approx. 1000rwhp TBD since setup isn't finished but...
1. Do I need the 12mm or 10mm?
2. How do I determine if I need to go with aluminum couplers or poly?
thanks!

I just answered your email but I will publicly post for everyone else's benefit. The stock size is 10mm, but when you get into higher hp ranges it is a better idea to drill the flanges out and tap for the 12mm bolt and coupler. This isn't as hard or as scary as it sounds. It is done with even the simplest of tools. As for one or two couplers and what material to use, all depends on power. In your case your north of 700hp so you need to replace both couplers with aluminum ones. At any hp level we recommend replacing the rear one. They are notorious for failing prematurely. For anything above 700-750hp replace the front one with a billet one as well.
