John Scott Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 1fastZ, inboard or outboard? If you've never broken an inboard, I wonder if Darius' set up with a CV inboard would be of any benifit. Not saying he doesn't have the solution, but curious if he has ever put his through a 1/4 on sticky tires. Otherwise a custom made set of stout u joint 1/2s still might be the answer. I'm looking into cost. JS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottie-GNZ Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Vince, no surprise there. 230mm = 9+". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest super280z Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 yeah Scottie i know but it was cool to see it working for a car in the 7's i still cant decide what i want to do. got a vette IRS lined up, 8-3/4" mopar, i'd rather not do the 9" just cause i couldnt handle the grief my bud's would give me or just weld up a r-200. sounds like im gonna have to go q-45 hunting now..

Mike C Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 The problem with the 'vette IRS is that the half shaft is a locator for the suspension, and if you break a half shaft the car gets squirrly since nothing keeps the whole thing from wagging. (I broke a half shaft clip in the diff in my '84 and it did all sorts of weird dances. Quite spooky) That's why NHRA won't let IRS go faster than 11.00 becasue Corvettes were the only IRS vehicle that was drag raced for a long time. Hopefully you can figure out a way to beef up the stock setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
