Thats a 1.25" diam shaft, no? Not much when trying to control 4300 lbs @ 440 lbs/ft.......a bit underdesigned if you ask me.

mine was at the track, and we were running various tunes. We were aiming at getting the best all stock motor(besides magnaflow) in the lowest time possible. Our best 60' was 1.8 !!
red, did you replace yours yourself?
