Driveshaft Shop Axles - A Lesson in Quality

Reliability is one of the key ingredients in the making of a fast racecar. Anyone can step up to the line and run a fast ET, all the while blowing your motor, breaking an axle and demolishing your turbo. Then it's back to the drawing board; a new build with new parts and more money because quality parts and service weren't utilized the first time.

We've seem this scenario play out too many times to count. It's because of this that we stress to our customers the importance of quality parts. Driveshaft Shop Axles are one of these "quality parts" we often recommend to our customers.

Driveshaft Shop axles are a great fit for anyone looking for a reliable aftermarket axle, no matter if it's for your daily driver or drag car.

Recently OBX tried to duplicate DSS's 5.9 axle. In an effort to show the quality of their product vs the duplicate, DSS tested the OBX axle against their original style and the new tapered one(current) for break testing. Here are the results:

OBX - 3300 ft*lbs - 55 degrees twist (this is what a 2.9 axle breaks at, a 3.9 is about 3700)

V3 - 4850 ft*lbs - 80 degrees twist (this is the original DSS style)

V4 - 5400 ft*lbs - 250 degrees twist (this is the new style with tapered bar)

Check out how much twist was allowed before breakage on the V4. This is very encouraging on the spline problem with stock splines!

We spoke with the Driveshaft Shop regarding their product line and they had this to say, "Here at the Drive Shaft Shop we will continue to not only make new items but experiment and make existing ones better. We wish you all great success in the new year."

EFI Wizard Injectors!



When a great new product comes out, we just have to share it with our customers!

EFI Wizard Injectors are the latest in fuel injector technology.

All sets will be supplied with flow data sheets and all sets are packaged together to be flow matched sets within .5% to 1.5%.

We use only the best parts and craftsmanship when producing our injectors. We guarantee your satisfaction.

Some of the benefits of these fuel injectors are...

Excellent low pulse width response along with predictable response all the way down to 1.5ms.

They have an excellent wide spray pattern which translates into great fuel atomization.

These injectors have been tried and tested to operate at fuel pressures in excess of 10bar. On our larger fuel injectors such as the 2000's that translates into over 4000cc/min.

These injectors are compatible with the additive MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether), otherwise found in fuels such as VP's q16 and VP's Import blend.

High Impedance means no more resistor boxes or external injector drivers.

All sets will be shipped with the conversion hats as needed to fit the fuel system you are using them in (14mm or 12mm). Also pins and clips will be supplied with each order.

We use the testing agent Heptane to flow our injectors, that is the industry standard and all we use.

Call for pricing! Pictures coming soon!!
