Well Ill be honest I havent really done much of anything yet. Blake is going to come by and help on the reassembly so I dont screw it up. There is a meet next weekend I want to go to and dont really want to have the tranny crap out because I did something stupid. I will probably do one myself next go around, just dont have the time right now.

Oh and the shaft I got is a tci. I looked at ck, but theres was a couple hundred more. I figured if the stock shaft lasted 3 years then a forged one at all should last 4 or 5

Ck is the brand my buddy had an issue with. He also went with a tci shaft rather than machining the shaft to fit.

Put a CK next to a TCI and you will see the difference....

Care to elaborate? Are you talking finish wise or size?

Pat post up that picture you had of yours. I remember you had a pic of the ck vs stock. I am not saying it is a bad unit but the one my buddy got was machined wrong. Maybe it was a snafu but it would not fit. He tried several different converters.

I'm interested to see as well. I've been looking at CK for the billet parts and the 36 element sprag. But I can buy the TCI input for $275 so maybe the CK input isn't worth it at over $200 more.. Quality talks though

Atomic, what all are you upgrading in your build? Just the billet input?
