driveshaft loops

Just getting interested in pulling and want to be ready for the Spring season. Does anyone have a good source or home made plans for the driveshaft keepers sometimes required. Do most of you keep them on at all times or just for the pulls. Thanks for any help. Now it's going to get expensive.

Well the best I have done is 522hp/930torque with my single turbo and plugins. I do think I probably have a flaky fuel rail pressure relief valve that is holding me back for now. But my valve cover has never been off and a single turbo so not too bad.

TDR user posting well over 600hp with twins, modded cp3, tst, ez, nos and the last time I ask he said he had stock injectors. Don't know if that is still true, but pretty sure he posted over 600hp with stock injectors.

Ya beat me to my own site. I STRONGLY recommend loops for any competition. This one saved my fuel tank, bed floor, shocks, etc.



If you need any measurements or more pictures, let me know.

I think I'm convinced. I know most pulls don't require them but then most trucks aren't putting out 500HP with twice the torque. Well worth the cost if it saves a fuel tank don't you think? THanks for input. Now on to breaking things.
