What are you going to use the car for? How are you going to make power? What sort of tires are you going to run?
I'm targeting 1000hp at the rear wheels. I'm running a Currie F9 IRS setup, with custom CVs from Driveshaft shop, Wavetrac, 35 spline, etc.
That said, I'm building power with turbo's, which is "gentler" on the drive train. I don't plan on dead hooking at high RPM, producing large amounts of driveline shock.
Besides, I expect the rear tires (345/30R20 Michelin) are going to spin if I hit it too hard in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd (and perhaps all the way into 6th).
The hardest part I've found is finding the transmission (without going to a Lenco) that will handle the torque. RPM Transmission helped me with a T56 Magnum and all the mods.
Have you thought about what ring and pinion your going to run? I'm using a 3:50:1 (pretty steep) and, without a dedicated track toy (i.e. I do plan on using it on the street), the options I found were limited.
Thoughts?
