Kyle right now im just finishing up some things and getting others in order. Id like to beat millers 5speed record. On a 4.05 at that. And then go to a 4.45(if thr 4.05 is still together) and see what it takes to go faster. I wont be on this 259 at the end of the year thats for sure.

the weak point on the LSJ is the splined portion outboard. The inner tripod joint housing is identical to both, the tripod inner shaft of course is different on the LNF, its larger.
I have seen LNF axles break at the strip, in the CV joint bearing race.
LSJ I have seen both main shaft and splined outboard shaft break.
LNF is a very good upgrade, but as you can see, a lot of work.
I use a different set up, with an LSJ diameter custom shaft made out of the same material used for C6R race axles, and a pontiac grand am outer cv joint which is pretty much similar to the LNF but a smaller diameter axle shaft. My shafts are much lighter than LNF is about all. And you can hardly see a difference its 100% stock appearing...
ex soccer is doing 100% the right thing to suit his needs for 1320.

then everything will go together.
