Recommended Posts

well here are the pics of the broken Drive shaft that broke when my buddy was driving on the last pass at sac race way. there was no damage to the car. we put the stock one back on today and the car is up an running. im gonna email PowerHouse these pics aswell to see what they can do for me about the drive shaft.

also im only making 544hp and 490TQ. it was from a 2nd to 3rd gear shift and broke. also it was on street tires. never had DR's on the car.

Are your horsepower and torque figures at the rear wheels or the flywheel?

Ouch. That's awfully curious.

On a side note, check out the Team Shelby Nor-Cal thread for events and meets in our area. :superhero:
