But I was only at 6 billion HP when that happened,, 
. When they finally got everything back together this time I put billet all the way through, input, output, intermediate, drums, you name it. Even put in extra clutches this time. Hopefully will hold now. Now I am a little worried about the transfer case, especially cause I want to be somewheres around 12 or 13 billion HP,,,

When I sent my trans off to Ultimate for the full boogie fat shaft build up I had them ship back the original "billet shafts".
Both input and output were hanging by a thread.....What a bunch of crap! I was only making 750Hp at the time and only had about 30 days on the output.
I don't like bashing manufactures on the internet, (so I wont) but if you are serious about drag racing with big power.... Opies big shafts are the only way to go.
I wouldn't expect the Sonnax shafts to last more than one season if you are running solid 1.6 or better 60 footers.....They might last longer, but its not worth the risk of leaving the old input during a refresh IMHO...Output maybe so.
Mork,
Malcolm just made the Ultimate/Fat Opie switch....You still running the skinny shafts? JK!
Are you going to make it to BD?

I just must be playing with disaster then. I go drag racing all the time, sled pull as much as I can and have even ripped the center out of my stock flexplate and generally drive aggresivly about 60% of the time and nothing yet.
