He seemed to be of the opinion that you are severely limited using CV's even though they are the only thing that will give you smooth transmission of power. Now Harrop Engineering have been working on this problem for some time re driveshafts for the Ford Falcon IRS and I feel it is prudent to wait for the engineering outcome of their R&D.
Cheers, Ian.
I am booked in with KCDR to supply and fit 1 set of chrome Moly CV shafts this week. I have been advised they can take up to 1000hp and you cannot feel any difference when driving compared to the factory parts.
