How strong are they? I know people that have used them in xe's and v6's but i want to know if anyone has used them in a LET conversion and how they hold up?

yes, know a lad who uses them on a 400bhp LET, and it get abused at the pod, and also ran in ten-of-the-best..
and they've not snapped yet

I run them and have run 480lb/ft of torque through them, yet people will tell you that you cant even run a standard 2lt 16v on them with out breaking them.
Only thing I did break was a outer cv joint on the rollers the minute I hit the nitrous, not an experience i want to re-live.

So we agree there strong enough for a LET then? if they take the power of a 2ltr and torque of a v6 then i don't see why not. Worth a try i suppose!

Yes in my opinion, also all this about V6's making amazing torque, they dont really a LET will make a hell of a lot more.
