BTW, a Carbon Fiber driveshaft is expensive but is supposed to be worth a solid tenth. You may get to a point where the car is extremely close to breaking an ET barrier and wished you’d spent a little more money!

Diff carrier is original Eaton, and no, I'm not into this seriously, just don't need to break anything else when I do play.

Breaking the tail housing off at SCR was the least expensive part to replace.

They are the strongest and have infinite shaft speed, but are not at all abrasion resistant and not recommended for street car applications for that reason.
