I don't know right off myself how well the HD pinion shaft holds up to to a v8. I will buying one of them or a good stocker next week.

Rick Norris had an HD pinion shaft in the white Crown v8 car when it was being built. The new owner of that car can tell you how it'sholding up.

I am the current owner of Rick Norris's white Crown car. To the best of my knowledge it has the same pinion gear that Rick installed back in 2000 and it seems to be holding up just fine. https://www.corvaircorsa.com/norris09.html#1

I use the pinion shaft with no problems on many autocross races.
