I have the DSS 9... If I was in the market for axles or a new rear... I'd go with the one providing real numbers.

My own personal experience with the DSS has been top notch!!

I can't speak for GForce, as I've never conducted business with them.

Can anyone show a car with the GForce IRS installed running 8's????

While the Gforce shop car may be a GTO, it still uses the same design axles. It holds the record for Naturally Aspirated IRS in the 9's launching on a 5500 transbrake. All this on the Gforce IRS, 750HP axles and DR's. Yeah, on the smallest HP axle they offer. Not some super duper exotic metal outlaw or High HP axle. This, to me, speaks volumes as to the strength of the Gforce design. I see records being threatened here soon, especially since the other records are all power adders I believe? We can all wave our ***** around here (and play with fake titties, lol) all day but in the end it all comes down to the ones that don't break or have major issues. Just sayin'. Peace.

I can speak for GForce as Chris is an awesome guy and products are top notch and fitment is perfect. And to answer the last question.......this video should speak for what this car is getting ready to unleash as the data logger only shows 36% throttle in this play session

OP, if this makes any difference to you, NRE used G-Force axles and drive shaft in that monster SST Camaro.

While the 8sec ARH car uses DSS.

You decide.

I almost posted that earlier but bit my tongue because i dont know what Bruce's plans are with the car, but If he decides to track it..... might want to kiss those DSS records goodbye
Those of you that have never been around or seen an NRE engine dont let the dyno numbers fool you. Yeah it makes just over 1500hp, but where it makes that power going down the track is where its at and you wont find a better built engine IMO.

Well without bragging to much, we live and work in the Air Capitol of the World, Wichita KS. His years of experience in the aircarft industry has been proven in his parts. Attention to detail and problem solving during design is a huge plus. How else can one offer a Lifetime warranty? Gforce products are top of the line for a reason. Built with confidence!
Airplanes are made out of aluminum.
