So what is the limiting factor in terms of torque/horsepower holding capacity? Is it the shaft(s) that run into the quick change gears at the back? I have seen a limit of about 1500hp for these... What alloy are those shafts? Do you make any in maraging steel? I would love to have a quick change for my vette, but I am sure I would break one...
This particular quick change is designed for Sprint cars. For a Corvette you'd be looking at one of our 10" Champ Independent rears. Through working with Drift racers to develop the strongest QC available for those high HP applications, we've beefed up our castings, introduced heavy duty spool and output flange options, strengthened the standard heat-treated steel lower shaft, etc. In terms of maraging steel, we do have a Vascomax lower shaft that's as close to bulletproof as you'll find. Our video "independent quick change options for Drift cars" should answer some of your questions. There are many Vette owners (track cars and street cars) running that QC-putting huge amounts of HP, banging gears, shocking the drivetrain-without any problems. If you're interested in talking specifics about your car, give us a call-we'll build you a rear that can take whatever you dish out.
