think about it, if stock was actually better why would they even make an upgrade for it. as far as a stock shaft flexing just sounds stupid, prove it, then i'll believe it.

thats what goerend told me.... and you can do the billet output when it breaks cause they are just taking the tail housing off...

and what that was meant as now that i read it is that stock intermediates are known to hold up better than a billet one cause the intermediate one is made to flex... it needs to flex or else other things break... Dave Goerend builds some of the most badass dodge transmissions out there and if you look on his page he dont even offer a "billet intermediate"
