As most of you know, almost all of the fastest independent rear cars run Driveshaft Shop drive train parts. In the past we have been in the shadows, keeping to our shop and doing what we do best, which is making great drive train products. We recently developed a narrowed 9″ rear for the 2010 Camaro. Being that our roots have been in the GM market, supporting every model with sub 8 second runs, we felt that it was time to just go ahead and do it. We contacted Jeremy (LS2-Goat) on the LS1gto forum as he is the fastest 6-speed GTO around. We wanted to pick a car that was well known and had enough HP to test our new design to the very limit. We have been working with Scott Bagshaw of Bagshaw Fabrication in Mooresville, NC on other platforms that we have used the 9″ rear in, such as our new Camaro and SRT8 9” conversion kits. He had also already done some work for Jeremy/LS2-Goat so it was a good match. All I can say is, just take a look at the execution of this install, the pictures speak for themselves.
This kit is fully built to withstand the most punishing setups and keep going without a whimper. In addition to the 9” housing, brackets and hardware, we are also including our signature 1400HP Pro-Level axles with the uber-strong 30 spline center bars. These axles are without a doubt the strongest on the market, with 300M Races and full billet 4340 CV cages. The billet axle stubs going into the differential are also included in either 31, 33 or 35 spline to fit many of the popular center sections.This design is the same as can be found on all of the fastest IRS cars out today including Lingenfelter’s 2010 Camaro 6 speed manual running 8.99′s at 4200lbs along with Mark Carlyle's Z06 Corvette which is a testament to how strong they really are (not to mention Travis/Tbones killer GTO running 8.90’s with a trans brake).
Also available to complete this bulletproof axle set are the DSS Billet wheel flanges, that can be ordered in 28 spline to fit your factory female axle flange, or you can send us your female axle flange to have them machined for our 33 spline upgraded version.
When we are designing our products we will first send them out to a testing lab and test a few different heat-treat specs and even different material compositions until we find the results that we want to achieve. We have also recently aligned ourselves with a mill in Sweden that is producing a modified version of 300M for us that we have found to be 15% stronger than regular 300M in testing (with our heat-treat specifications). There isn’t any guesswork here, only results and fast cars that with our help will keep getting faster.
The kit will come with a choice of a 4″ Aluminum shaft or, for a nominal upgrade fee, the new 3-3/4” Carbon Fiber shaft (using our new bonding technology, see our website for more info). The shaft will also have a Strange billet transmission yoke of your choice and solid 1350 series u-joints. It will be balanced on our new true to speed 9500RPM balancer.
