Uh oh... Talk to me Sean! I've got a CC that I'm planning on pumping
some fairly decent HP through. Maybe not as much as you, but I figure if
I ever get to the point where I decide I'm "done" (which might never happen) ;-)
I might have 450-500HP, with maybe 600-650 when the nitrous is flowing.
What's the deal with my driveshaft?
And speaking of driveshafts... What if that kind of power really is too
much? Could the stonger driveshaft from a '98 R/T CC be used, or are
they too different? What options do I have, other than buying a new
driveshaft every week? And, what other parts are subsceptible to wear in
high-HP situations? rearend? tranny? clutch? Are there beefier alternatives
for those?
