Well, I am finally swallowing my pride and taking the car to StreetFlight and having my Vortech kit removed. I give up! I have fixed the shaft a billion times. I have at least double the cost of the car into it now. Hindsight is 20/20. I should have opted for the Turbo... Oh well. I am gonna pimp the 3.0L with upgraded bits and peices for a while... N/A all the way. I don't have the 1.2K or the patience for the upgraded shaft fix, so that ain't an option. I want a car I can drive again. It has been about 1 year since I could effortlessly and carelessly jump into it and cruise. I want to drive to San Diego and Vegas again... Oh well... I will be on the 3.0L board if anyone needs me! haha!

That sucks man.  Hopefully you can recoup costs off some of the kit??? If you need any advice on the 3L just let me know. I'm sure Chris has me on speed dial. (j/k  )

Keith has convinced me to give it one more shot. He is going to use a set screw and spot weld the ends. At this point I got nothing to lose. Having 300 FWHP would be nice again, but 220 FWHP would be nice too... I just want to drive it again.

Well, if you haven't torn anything appart, then I guess it's worth a shot. Like you said, why not? I'll be crossing my fingers for you.
