E-force question
When I ordered my Edelbrock SC , they recommanded to change the driveshaft into a 1piece one.
Because I'have some issues installing it (have to wait for some parts) I wonder if its's save to drive with the Eforce using the stock shaft ?
Thanks
Peter

It' s because I'm doing several trackdays a year, the guy I'm ordering my parts told me it would be safer to go for a 1-piece alu driveshaft cause when the shaft brakes on high speed, the damage can be awfull.
I don't have the intention to cross the 500 hp line
Things I did till now :
Baer extreme plus 14" brake kit
Steeda rear swaybar
Steeda Billet LCA's
Koni adjustable shocks
Roush springs
Flowmaster cat backs
E-force supercharger
19" wheels
Steeda alu 1-piece driveshaft
cervini ram air type IV hood with functinal ram air kit : coming up next week
hurst copetition shortshifter : coming up next week
Spec stage3 clutch and alu flywheel and SS lines : coming up in 2 weeks

I've heard the stock driveshaft can handle up to 450HP or something like that. but getting a driveshaft safety loop and mounting it in the right spot will prevent the back half from dropping down if it goes and preventing a lot od damage (some people think it will even end up pole-vaulting the car). The front half would just drag harmlessly on the ground

Thanks guys, The Steeda alu driveshaft is Ok.
Yesterday I did a trackday and the car did a great job; BMW M3, even a Ferrari F430 had to give up on me. Now the other problem is overheating but I opened another topic about that

anyone know of any issues with the stock internals coupled with an e-force? i've been thinking of adding the 5 psi SC to my '05 GT, but i have some concerns as the internals are the weak point. the car has 85K miles, mostly highway and it runs perfect. i wouldn't be looking to go over 450-500 rwhp on the car, but i'd like to make sure that it won't break with 450 thrown at it.
thanks,

i have thought about making a multi-year approach and slowly building up the bottom end and having the motor built before adding a supercharger. i hear the b302 stroker kit from brenspeed works wonders in cars.

I've been running north of 470 at the wheels for almost three years now.. granted I only have 30k miles on her, but I think it's more in the tune and how you drive 'em then the actual whp number.
