David, what effect did the CV jont system have on un-sprung weight over the U-joint half shafts? (Granted, U-joint bind is the big factor)
I'm also wondering about grease compatibility with the silicone boots. (guessing you guys mainly use full
synthetic like the mobil 1 stuff)
I can also mention one benefit of the silicone boots you missed, cold weather hardening. (granted not a big deal for us guys in the swamp) I gotta warn you though, silicone has rather lousy shape memory (just like it's rubber counterparts), that area sealing to the shaft is not reinforced and may deform eventually. (unless there's something I can't see) Look at a stock CV boot, it's clamped at both ends.
Granted your probably as aware as anyone about the importance of checking CV boots...
