I have a 650 hp, 750 ft lb torque engine. I plan on mating it to a T-56 (w/ the .5 6th) installing sfc, stb, and a horzontal cross brace where the back of the rear seat was (for stifness, and to attach to 4 pt. belts). I plan on using a ford 9inch with a Eaton Posi, Strange shafts, A Carbon driveshaft, poly bushings, full coil-over converson, fiberglass front clip & hood. Am I missing anything for a non-race car that might cruz the canyons once and a while (never mind the brakes I got that covered, big time) Thanks guys

 

Non race car......you better put a roll cage in that beast...650 on the street is NOT reality.........

 

Put a cage in for my sake or for the car's longitivity????

 

both..sfc's wont be enough...driveshaft loop....transmission plate...keep you from losing a leg........you are talking serious horsey's here...check out this set-up

wont the cross bar in the back take care of that. This car is also used for show so I would like to avoid a huge cage in it. The cross member I am talking about is like the one in the rear of the new Nissan Z. I think that and the STB SFC and tubler Kmember, might be enough. I dont plan on dropping the clutch at 5 grand everyday. It would just be used for standard duty, except when some civic wants to try to get crazy or something.

 

oh yea, the carbon DS doesnt need a loop, if it breaks it just will end up turning into a big broom like thing.

 

I dont know a thing about carbon drive shafts..hmmmm....I say whatever you decide, just be careful, and dont hurt anyone..
