Thanks for the clarification Steve. I knew it was something like that, and knew you knew the scoop.

It took a Qt. of vodka and a couple of slepness nights to figure it out!!!!!! LOL

Grier Rush showed the in and outs of the HD setup a few years back. That's how I knew about it. I knew he was getting some pretty big numbers out of solid jacket/raised machined cases using them

I have several sets of used gears and Casale sells new sets. I can get any ratio you want built if I don't have it.

I spent several hours at the drags at Firebird 2 weeks ago benchracing with Wayne Mettler in Don Bausher's pit and the subject of prop shafts came up. Either Scott Owens or Tim at Lenco has a shaft material that according to them puts A22 and Inconel in the trash can. I will see Wayne this weekend at the drags and get more info. If we can stop breaking shafts the weakest link will then be the prop!!!!!

This is the question I have been wondering about through all of these discussions (here and on PB)... If we can make axles that can last pass after pass in a pro mod OR monster trucks turning earth mover tires or a TF dragster/funny car, why can't we improve on the material that is used... I do get the need for a material that is corrosion resistant, could some kind of nitride or iridite 14-2 or nickel plating could be used, maybe, if the NEW material was carbon steel and NOT stainless???
