Videos from San Antonio.....
Finally got some new videos up from Import Face Off Dec 17. The car I think is finally not breaking parts, although the times suffered a slight amount. We made some changes to the suspension and the car finally doesn't "hit" as hard on launch. 5 consistant low-10 passes with no cracked output shaft, and no broken rear end! Thought you might like to see the vids, let me know what you think...

P.S. - The 4 videos won't work with Firefox (I'm not sure why yet), but will with Internet Explorer.

Looks awesome Dan. PPG will have my output shaft done in a couple weeks if your interested. It'll work in a all stock tranny too. Also, Ari told me he was having something done for the output shaft as well.

Dan,
This is per their words.
The Advanced Pfitzner Heat Treating Process
The last phase of the gear set production is heat treatment (case hardening). This is not a new approach to strengthening metal componentry and most clientele of the automotive industry would be familiar with the process of parts being dipped into a heat treating salt bath containing various elements but most importantly carbon.
The “Controlled Atmosphere” heat treatment process Pfitzner Performance Gearbox apply is a more precise and refined method from the original salt bath heat treating. Using a computer controlled atmosphere (furnace) where carbon and other elements are monitored and maintained at optimum levels via highly advanced software and sensors, ensures accurate and efficient heat treating, consistently producing a well hardened and strengthened product for Pfitzner customers.
High temperature levels are produced to attract and infuse carbon onto the surface of the product, penetrating to calculated design depths to harden it. “Rockwell” tests (an international standard of hardness testing) are performed at regular intervals with sacrificial components as a form of ongoing quality control.
Competitor Heat Treating Process
The basic heat treating technique is at times “hit and miss” given element levels fluctuate and more specifically carbon content is “guestimated” producing inconsistencies with this practice. Salt Bath techniques were developed pre the 1950’s and have not evolved since then.
The actual material is going to be the same as the gear set. I believe its a case hardened steel. Supposed to be strong as hell. HAS to be better then stock crap.
This is per their words.

Well, I wish all you guys good luck period. Now its not even an issue getting the engines to hold up but the drivetrain more or less. I look forward to seeing some great race footage in '07 from everybody.
I making friendly bets with my buddy's that you'll run 9.60's at least this year, how about it dan I think u can do it. U to ErnieT I see 9's within a year, last time u ran u did ur burnouts like u had something against Budds Creek, all I saw was smoke!
Again good luck guys.
