Do I need to reinforce shafts for ~800ish rwhp?
Hello,
My target is ~800ish rwhp with 93oct + meth and forged engine. I am wondering if I should change drive shaft and axle shaft for it. and furthermore, A8 mission. Frankly, my A8 seems got some little slip at gear changing. (rev is going up , down and up again slightly after changing gears, especially 5th and 6th gear changing) as I got 650 rwhp. Is there any way to reinforce A8? or just using the better oil? |

The driveshaft and axles are more about how hard you launch it. I am around 750rwhp and running high 9’s but leaving a little soft and all that stuff is fine. I would say around a 1.5 60’ you will want to upgrade.
My a8 is stock and I have been told by a number of people about 800 is the safe limit of a stock a8. I am turning my car up this winter and going for 1000+. For that I was told to go with Steven at 42autosports. He told me they have a few cars pushing 1200rwhp. Cost is $2350. I don’t know what they do.

My car is a little over 900 rwhp right now and I’ve made a handful of passes at that power level on stock axles cutting a pb of 1.35 but I did bend some of the driveshaft flange bolts

and to get to that hp # which are you doing meth, race fuel, or port injection on top of the LT4 fuel system?
