Got a 06 GT with a Hellion turbo, currently making about 470 HP, 500 trq. Upgraded the rear tires from BF Goodrich's that came stock to a set of MT ET street radials, also added a line lock. Although I haven't tried the line lock yet, have notice the MTs have huge grip with no tire spin from launch through all the gears. Plan is to take the car to the strip once in a while. Haven't upgraded the clutch yet, but that's in the future when the stock clutch starts to go south.
OK, here's are the question(s)
- I know the line lock, tires and new clutch will abuse the drive line. I'm real concerned about the u joints. Can anybody tell me what u joints the car came with stock (1330, 1350s?)
- If you were going to upgrade the u joints, while maintaining the stock drivetrain (drive shaft, etc) what u joint is the best choice?
- Or should I chuck it all, go with an aftermarket driveshaft, u joints, yoke, etc. If this is the best alternative, what's are the best choices?
Thanks in advance.....
