100 vs 108mm cvs for road use

Post by DORIGTT »

Hey all,

I'm curious about how much power / torque 100mm CV's can support vs 108mm CV's.
I'm looking at a heavy street car with 350+ horsepower and torque on 200 treadwear tires.

Thanks,
Bruce2

I know a guy with a low 9 second drag car that uses Bus CV joints. The HP your engine makes is irrelevant since your tires have no traction (relative to a drag slick).
IMO, anyone that uses 930 CVs on a street driven Beetle is wasting money.

THE ESCORT AXLES BOLT TO A BUS AND ARE 1/8TH INCH THICKER...
AND PROBABLY STRONGER CV SHELLS..
