I've been reading about input shafts for my 48rh project ( 47rh valve body and case with 48re guts) and Opie seems to be the best.
However, I can't find any contact information and his website (Intelligent Engineering) is dead.
Has Opie passed on or has he closed shop?

Has Opie passed on or has he closed shop?
Thanks for the replies. I called Ultimate and they guy I spoke with said Opie sold out to another company. The guy on the phone talked so fast I wasn't able to catch the name of the company.
He did say for the low power levels I'm shooting for with my 12 valve I don't really need an after market input shaft.
What is your HP goal and intended use?
I snapped a stock input shaft towing 12,000 lbs cruising down the freeway in a 375hp 12v. Be careful on that oem input
Boosted launches or a lockup switch get a billet input, thats sounds alot different than the wife's truck. My daily driver is about 400hp and tows heavy often, I have been for years with the same stock input trans. I sometimes run it hard but don't use a lockup switch, its not my hot rod.
From our experience the Opie shafts break easily at the oiling holes in the base of the shaft. We feel the TCS Arizona big shaft is the strongest out there. Call Firepunk, we can sell you a shaft/stator/converter.
