I'm having a local shop build me a 1410 setup for the rear with thick wall tubing. It's the 2 piece shaft so more points for failure. I'll have Jess build the front shaft later in the year when the $$ is floating around. Right now I'm running stock shafts.
Its Comin Right for us!

hell yea, what wall thickness??
you gonna run a 1350 cv shaft up front? or one of his 42 degree cv's?
my 1350 cv up front from him has some crazy angl capability...before i could bind the stock 1330 cv fairly easy...i cant even come close with jess's shaft

Haven't decided on the wall thickness. Basically I'm gonna roll the truck down to their shop and show them what I'm doing and then tell them to build me a shaft that can handle 1200hp. I'll let those guys figure it out from there so if it blows up I can take it back and have them fix it.
The front shaft is some goofy mix of parts. I've got the e-mail somewhere detailing it but basically it's a nightmare to put heavy duty CV's on married 205's with a C6 because of clearance issues. He can do it but it's not cheap. Go figure.
I think it was a 1350 combo though. I'm not too worried about the front shaft because it won't be getting hammered unless I'm splitting the power with the rear axle (must resist front wheel drive burnouts) but I'm really worried about that rear shaft with the new engine.

I don't know all the details of what you're running
but when using a large shot (if you guys are serious)
octane can only account for so much. What are you doing
with your timing and what plugs are you going to be running?
Sounds like a fun project. Nitrous is fun on dynos when
you watch your TQ curve shoot up

I've got an MSD setup that automatically retards my timing so many degrees when I engage my nitrous. All the safety precautions are covered including fuel pressure shut off. I'll play with the plugs once I've had a chance to run the engine for a while without any nitrous.

"Jet engines use spark plugs? That's news to me."
Yep - igniters. That's how they get the initial combustion going on some engine designs. After the engine is started they can be turned off. Kind of like starting a propane barbeque.

Yeah, they are called ignitor plugs. Just a REALLY high tech spark plug. It seems to run ignitor plugs in a reciprocating engine, but if he was convinced he had spark blowout, then that would be the way to go.
