^^That was going to be my next question as far as the drive shafts needing to be custom and what not.

I know someone that was honestly looking into it.

From what I was told Kenny Tranny uses this brand of tranny and he paid in the neighborhood of $30k. but thats all hearsay

Yeah, my boy got quoted $30k also.

Yes, Kenny uses an Xtrac also. His is the 4speed Drag gearbox and we are using the 6speed Touring Car gearbox.

The 4Speed box cost around $18K & the 6Speed box is $34K. However that is only a portion of the investment...you still have to get bellhouse, linkage, strain gauge, intermediate pillow mount, shifter, cooler, axles & intermediate shaft to name a few.

As for our axles we contact Mark Williams Enterprises & ordered custom shafts per our drawing for our application.

This picture is of the Mark Williams Shaft, the Xtrac intermediate pillow mount & our custom fabricated mount ...

At least we have shops now with the experience of changing our Drivetrain setup whenever someone privateer takes it to that level. Someday, someone other than a shop will put up enough to do a drivetrain change of this calibur.
