ok, so maybe I can save a couple hundred bones and install myself... but is it still worth it if I'm not going to feel the difference on the street? I'm not trying to be difficult, I honestly want to be convinced that this is worth it.

I'm considering buying a Spydershaft as well. I'm new to the board and the SN197 gang; we just bought a 5100 mile Mineral Grey '05 GT Vert to go along with (ok ok...soon to replace) our Mineral Grey '01 Cobra Vert. I have a couple of noob questions for you and/or the group. First, it was my understanding that the pinion bearing pre-load could only be done with internal differential out of the car...is that not true? Second, and probably a D'Oh! because they frown on all non-FRPP parts mods; does Ford consider this mod a drivetrain warranty killer?
ORIGINAL: 06Saleen3V Just got off the phone with Ron. Here are some questions we cleared up...
Any problems with the aftermarket shifter? The only aftermarket shifter that the Spydershaft is not compatible is the Saleen short-throw How much of a difference is there from the 1330-Series U-joints and the 1350-series? The 1350 series are said to hold twice the ft-lbs of torque. The 1330's are said to withstand 120-140 ft/lbs, but can most likely handle more. The 1350-series are an additional $120.
Hello all, newbie to this site. Another mustang site told me about this group buy and I am most likely interested, but like others it would be later this month.
What about a Saleen short throw adaptor?
What amount of torque is typically applied to the shaft? My question ultimately is, is the 1350 worth the extra cost. I dynoed my car and got 303 rwhp and 309 rwtq. I am keeping the car NA, so is it worth the extra $120. I can use the $120 for the loops or other upgrades if not necessary.
That is correct, it does come with a new flange. I would say the average shop would charge you 3 hours of labor, so 3x whatever their hourly labor rate is. It is a simple job if you want to save your money. It does take 2-4 hours but without difficulty
Sutton quoted me only $80 for the install. I'd previously heard this was an easy job, maybe 1 hour if you know what you're doing. Is that unrealistically low?

I don't think thats too low. It's like you said, its about an hour install with the right tools (aka a lift) and decent shops usually charge between 50-100 per hour.
