Im seeking 850rwhp when I'm done
Except for possibly the MMR short block, you are way underbuilt for your 850 rwhp. You will need a larger single turbo, way more fuel, and a 4r or similar transmission. If you just plan on having a pretty dyno sheet that reads 850, you can away with a lot less modding. If you plan on dragracing with that much power, it's going to be much more expensive and challenging. That's the difference between someone having hp goals compared to someone with ET goals. Lot depends also on how many times you want to change things out.

That is a good thought, but powerhouse says their driveshaft will bolt in to the pinion yoke on the stock 8.8 that I'm going to build. I'll let you know if I run into a problem.

If that's true then I have no idea where they're getting those numbers. It says that the shipping weight is 19 pounds so that's what I would go by.

Breenspeed sells an aluminum DS that is rated to 900lbs. I believe. Check it out

Assuming that you have deep enough pockets and the will to spend and spend and spend, to get to 1000 hp....what are you going to do with all those horses? You have hp goals...what for? Have you any idea what it takes to get that power to the ground, even on a prepped surface? And then when you have resolved the traction issues....that is when the stuff starts to break. Wondering where you got that 850 number from?
