With what I have done to my truck I only opted for a billet input shaft when I had my trans done now I have the money for billet output what is your thoughts spend the money for it or not needed just dont want to spend the money if I don't have to or just do it and not worry about it

Personally, I would not mess with it. I have done alot more mods than what you have done and have not had any problems with the output shaft at all. If it does break than 9 out of 10 times is is not going to trash the entire tranny anyways. Just my .02.

I take it you still have the stock output what does happin if it does break I wanna be able to do boosted launches but not crazy ones yea right!

Well, I can only tell you that of all the trans guys that I have talked to, they all say that if the output breaks it only does very minor damage 95% of the time. I don't know how true this is as I have not broken one yet (nor do I plan to). I have done several (20-30) boosted launches and have had no problems. Not to say that I may in the future. By boosted I mean leavin the line at 20-25 lbs. Thats a boosted launch. It may actually break tomorrow I don't know, but, what I do know is that it(stock) has lasted for 3 years of h... you spell the rest from the good old skinny pedal.

I would get input from dusty and see what he has to say. it all depends on what you do with the truck. I went with all billet shafts not because I had money to burn, but I wanted less chances of it breaking. at the time I didnt really plan on doing anything other than taking it to the drag strip a few times. but after you get alot of power things change. I think you made a very good choice going with HTS. great people and customer service. dusty and marianne are really nice people.

I agree with jwb600, that would be the wisest decision. Ask Dusty.

I know Morkable broke his Billet output shaft and all they did was replace the tail section with another billet setup.
