Sorry for delay Ted, zonked out after 29 hr crazy work day LOL

....As they say, no pain, no gain - pays the mods!

I ended up calling Frank at DSS and spoke with him at length. Also found some real good info in thread searches - Doc's was most compelling...

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=127229 Merc had great things to say in PM..... did say aluminum one transmits more noise which is my concern, but he was happy to stop bending the front Guibo to tranny bolts (3 times!).

Also Frank at DSS said Ted from Jannetty had like 5 or 6 customers that he found the OEM 2-piece twisting the spline at the carrier bearing slip joint.

Aluminum 3 1/2" best bang for buck, 2-piece more stable at extremely high speeds (lower critical speeds on higher rear end gears), CF should be quiter than aluminum and handle all situations better. Plus Frank deals with Lingenfelter and RPM Transmissions alot. Plus the entire eventual system will have his handiwork involved in each component - so no "blame game" potential. Frank is very accessable to talk with and extremely knowleldgeable. Graham at LPE also brought up critical speed harmonics concerns of OEM DS to me before. Pfadt doesn't seem to be bringing a CF shaft to market anytime soon either - besides, DS's are DSS's specialty, so makes more sense to deal with them.

Wait, are we talking about a solution looking for a problem here?

I'm anxious to get to the track. Dreamed about it all night the other night. Will be great to see all the work done over the winter. I'll be there running the same 'ol thing.

Nope, just know was the next weakest link is, and my VIN is in the range stockers have been breaking the output shaft - just a matter of time, plus carbon fiber sycros are supposed to shift fantastic.

Won't be any warranty on my origional tranny.... that's for sure.

If you'll buy it for their the RPM "core charge", it all yours in a week!

That would eliminate the last potential breakdown in Arizona...
