You do realize Dynotech used zzp input shafts too right.
The 4340 from zzp is $100 cheaper than intense-racing input shafts. Why don't you compare the strength of the zzp 300m shaft and intense input shaft. The intense shaft is still $25 more than the zzp shaft. I'll admit it does suck that the shaft broke. If ZZP replaced the shaft, I would say thats pretty darn good of them. Most companies won't warranty aftermarket parts for this reason.
Even though intense has their input shafts made by the same company as GM racing does, the shafts are to totally different shafts. The GM Racing shaft looses the lock up feature of the torque converter, which allows them to have a thicker shaft and eleminate the seal groove.

And like I said, I think the Intense Shafts have a better track record than ZZPs. I've heard of a few ZZP shafts failing in the last year on the other board. I still think the Intense Shaft is still a better piece. But thats my opinion.

Whats $25 when building a $2,000-$3,000 tranny? Nothing at all. If you buy the Input shaft because of that difference alone.... Not going to even say it.
ZZP ain't going to replace the shaft. There not as great of a company as you think they are. I'm sure there going to give me $200 for the time and trouble on the POS fuel rails they sent me 2 years ago? Uh huh... They wouldn't even exchange them without me paying an upgrade free. Doesn't make sense when you send the customer something thats a POS and leaks a month later and creates a fire hazzard for you.

Well state the obvious. I never said get the Intense shaft because the same company who makes the GMPP makes there input shaft.

Don't be so sure. Search clubgp for a guy within the last year that broke one. They had him send it in and he got a replacement. Its better to try than to assume

Check NAIOA too. We've had a couple of Impala's break them as well.

And i'm sure there was more to the story than that, ZZP ain't that great to everyone, unless you like to get under Zooomers desk that is...
