I wasn't connecting on the first post, I forgot that was Drake, he was talking about bringing his truck to Phoenix is that still the plan?

Sadly no...

not sure how you guys aren't having problems with your input shaft but Drake really is... he snapped an ATS on the first test launch, and the most recent one snapped on the first test pass. He just installed the TCS "NASA" shaft apparantly that is going to be the strongest he can go with until he goes to Opies converter and bigger input shaft

That too bad he can't make it, I knew he snapped a shaft when he took it out but thought he was going to fix it an come to Pheonix. I think the reason for cummins snapping shafts is low end torque, pretty sure the cummins comes on much harder and also the rpm of the shift points, any idea what he shifts at? You can tune to reduce torque with a dmax, and that is what Rob does with Max'd Out.

that the I-6 is violent... IIRC it shifts at 4000rpm. He might have to lockup in 3rd instead of 2nd
