ADD or OCD most likely. Thinking about this still/again lol
Paul's making big jam, not a good place for one of those shafts.
Any recorded failures? I ran one without issue, putting down 485 lbs ft. Eventually the Cobra clutch failed, then the trak-lok failed, then the Centreforce DF clutch failed, but the shaft was intact. This was launching on MT ET Streets.
I'm currently running another Aerostar AL shaft in a more gentle application.
Thought was they are getting long in the tooth age wise.
So engine has been set back 1"; front wheels have moved forward 1.5"; looks like track width will be increased by 2" both front and rear.
Custom 3" steel driveshaft with Spicer U joints made up by Dwight at Driveline out in Whitby.
Aluminum has a fatigue life that can be a concern. Road car, 4.10 gears, 20 yr mileage; plus high speed track days makes ya think.
My old Ford Racing driveshaft was worn out at the output end u joint attachment point....it couldn't be shortened / rebuilt.
19 lbs vs 14 lbs, but much stronger and brand new/balanced.
Curious to see what the new wheel weights are. You going to re-weigh it?
(more of a self-serving motive, i want to see if my math was right)

Once everything is set up and the car is finished, yes. Would actually like to buy a set of scales for corner weighting, but the cost is prohibitive.
Alignment, ride height and accessories all affect the weight distribution. Big puzzle.
