The sonnax shaft looks to have larger feed holes, do you see that as a potential weak link or is there plenty of meat there to sacrifice for better flow?
I wonder if the reason why few break Opie inputs is the fact that his material and or temper is more elastic.
I need a good "broken-in" input for the Junker Drag Truck, you wanna sell that Opie shaft cheap? Probably not, that's a cool piece for a wall-o-shame!

Yes, the converter was VERY loose, he launched and locked. The converter never "coupled up" before lock-up. I am certain that any of those shafts would have broken or twisted at best the way he pulled that thing back. A fair test would to see how the other shafts woud look after a simular launch.
