Tailshaft Tech

[PLAYA]

engine RPM has fuck all to do with tail shaft rpm,

you need to work out what the maxium tail shaft RPM will be, so tyre size, diff ratio, MPH etc,

I fail to see how this is true, if you pulling 8000 rpm and in top gear thats 1:1 so tail shaft sees 8000 rpm....unless its got some serious converter slip.

If this is for a manual its definitely incorrect.

manual yes auto no,

you will have anywhere from 7% to 25% converter slip in a auto depending on who does the converter and how much power your making...

you can run single piece in a commo to 160mph and im betting it is a lot longer than a ke20 shaft..

Yea like i was saying, at end of day if you assume minimal slip you will be safe, and seems he will be fine anyway.
