What is the benefit of the CV joint ?

 

I like the DSS stuff. If I hit the lottery I'll toss in the CF one haha.

CV means no adjustable UCA needed, no need to worry about pinion angle!

Horray!

Edit: Looks like I answered your question Dineau!

 

Correct, that and it's supposed to be much more vibration resistant.

I toyed with the idea of the CF one, but I figured as it's only about 2lbs lighter than the aluminum, and I'm not exactly putting 1000HP through it (where the flex would be useful to buffer the drivetrain), it was basically another $600 just for bragging rights.

Dineau: love the sig pic!

 

For me, it wouldn't be the 2lbs, it would be the 2lbs coupled with the fact its also .25" less in diameter.

Without boring everybody, rotational inertia has 2 main variables, mass and radius.

Guess which one matters more? Radius! Therefore, I'd take a slightly heavier DS that is a 3.5" over a lighter one that is 4".

2lbs less and .25" less is a win win! And you'll achieve baller status.

 

I concur there is a physical benefit to losing 0.25" of diameter, but physics is one thing, and accounting is another. Is say a 5% inertia reduction vs aluminum worth paying 180% of the cost?

Here we leave the sciences and enter judgement call territory

 

You're not factoring in baller status. That trumps all accounting mumbo jumbo

All we wanna do is get the bitches

 

Well, yeah, obviously I didn't factor that in

 

Its much easier to steal one anyway, that way the accounting people are happy too.

 

BTW: how is the WOTBOX? Have you had a chance to really test it out?

 

Oh yea, coolest mod ever.

2 step is just cool on the street, obviously serves no purpose unless you're at the track which I've yet to test yet.

No lift shift is the coolest thing ever. Its the SMOOTHEST shift ever, since the spark is cut and there is no load on the motor, but once spark kicks back in you're still hauling the mail. TB stays open, power stays on tap!

Also, you can shoot flames if you want too, pretty sweet side effect.

And it gets bitches.
