Roggaman Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 This will be my first post, but most certinly not my last. I live in Sweden, where we have a couple of Z´s (app. 100 240-280z and 100 280zx) Well, here´s my question: I´m building a 240 for dragrace, but I want to make it streetlegal. That rules out a live axel in my case. Do any of you guys have any suggestion on what to use. I want something that can cope whit ~450 rwhp and 450 lbf-ft. Thanks in advance /Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I believe there has been some amount of success using the R200 for the levels of torque you write of. Obviously there are other factors such as launch style and tires. Use of the CV jointed ZX turbo shafts have been helpful as well, especially when involved with higher shaft angles on launch (severe squat).

I do have a couple of sets of R200 and CV shafts, but my concern is how they will handle dragrace starts with slicks and the somewhat limited supply of gearratios and LS or spools (is that what you call it, a fully locked LS??). I´m not afraid of doing extensive modifications, so is there another diff and shafts I could use paired with modified bellhouse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roggaman Posted October 8, 2003 Author Share Posted October 8, 2003 I´ve been looking at the vette IRS before, might be the solution for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
