Some of you have been asking about the benefits of a Carbon Fiber driveshaft over a aluminum or steel one. Weight is obviously a big factor but safety is an even more important one. If you’re racing or involved in an accident, the carbon fiber shreds like a broom, so it won’t bounce around and damage everything under the car or potentially come up through the floorboard like a steel or aluminum driveshaft may do.

@jonalarcon85644 жыл бұрын
Speed Academy but if it chips its junk and has to be replaced it cant be repaired and at 1500 dollars forget it chromoly is the best and likes high speed unless you want to buy a titanium shaft which is stronger then carbon fiber , iv done my research on this subject and if you use two drive shaft safety loops you wont have driveshaft safety issues, if been running my safety loops since the early 80s in my chevelle
@jonalarcon85644 жыл бұрын
RS3 4 Me hey dont use aluminum for the street or carbon fiber use chromoly steel, it's best for all around use carbon fiber is expensive around 1500 dollars and if it chips or is damaged its junk and has to be replaced it cant be repaired , if you want to save on weight use carbon fiber on different car parts not drive train components and if your worried about safety with the shaft under the car install drive shaft safety loops they work I know been using them for years

Lucky rooster is correct (may not be 1 for every 20, I can’t confirm) but rotating mass is what affects performance the most, I’ve heard people getting these and improving throttle response greatly. Rotating mass is what really robs performance, thats why cars like the Lancer Evo has hollow camshafts, only saves a couple grams, but gives it 1k more rpms than stock mitsubishi eclipses that use the same motor with solid shafts

Hey Mike, the 4.6L V8 S197 is a good purchase but as you can see it takes alot of work to make any real power from it. If we were to do it again, I think we'd shell out the extra cash and buy an 09+ with the Coyote V8 since that motor makes so much more power out of the box.
