Re: Spartan GL's (12/17/11) PG 16 for Cam and Black Friday Pics!

Need quality CV Axle Replacement options..

i am aware of ZZP's Stage 2 ones, but i was thinking a good OEM replacement (much cheaper option) dealership parts section is closed today so i can't price out a GM CV Axle... any suggestions? i know that advanced and autozones CV axle options are crap. so no good there

I've have one Napa and one Carquest axle and they've been holding up good. Whatever you do just don't go reman, shtty quality no matter the part.

WBS LCA's would of been a cheaper option, GR2's would of been a cheaper option, worked over L67 heads would of been a cheaper option, a worked over rebuilt trans would of been an cheaper option - so now all the sudden money is a concern and you want a cheaper axle option.. It's amazing the things you have no concern over how much money you spend on, and other things you decide to skimp out on.

well i ment i wanted a OEM option and didnt want to upgrade to the ZZP ones, i dont see the worth or gains in spending 500 on "Stage 2 axles" vs a GM replacement,

My buddy HK's 600whp turbo regal destroyed ZZP's "stage two" axles on the sixth or seventh pass at the drag strip.
New OEM style are the best option. Napa doesn't know how much torque will be traveling through them, so use that warranty.

I am now pretty much maxxed out for **** i can do to this car. and once this arrives ill have everything i need to do the build (Fluids and Gaskets included)
 
Re: Spartan GL's (12/17/11) PG 16 for Cam and Black Friday Pics!

You could still twin charge it and drop in a 5 speed instead of the auto...
 


Re: Spartan GL's (12/17/11) PG 16 for Cam and Black Friday Pics!

i was mostly refering to maxxed out with what im doing on this build. everything has been touched just about unless you have some ****ing oddball wacked out idea like twin charge or manual conversion
