NV 4500 Input shaft upgrade
Guys,
plain and simple question. When should i start to consider and input shaft upgrade? Im about to tear into my tranny on wednesday and was wondering just how much more than my current mods can i go before my input shaft risks breaking or damage?
Will the stocker hold 500 rwhp? or once i start adding more mods would it be wise to consider an input shaft..
What do you all think?
thanks for the input!

If you tow, I'd do it. If you drive hard, I'd do it. If you do both at once...DO IT!!
It's a lot of money, but I've only heard of a handful breaking...and most of those were plain abuse!

i don't think you have a good enough clutch to break the input shaft. i have a con fe in mine when it broke. plus mine was a dually so more traction to try to break it with.

I dont care much for burnouts,
just a couple more dyno pulls with it I wanna see how close to 400 rwhp I am now (if not over it) and just be able to smoke a ricer here and there...
Hohn,
we texans stick together, plus i know Valair clutches kick some serious keyster....
