Help...just broke driveshaft on the dyno!!
I have a heads and cam car and today....on the third pull....the driveshaft gave way. It broke at the back, and bent my BMR torque arm a little.
My questions...is there any good way to fix the torque arm?
And what is a good driveshaft that will not break on me...and could handle a possible 75-150 (probably 75-100). If at all possible...I don't want to break the bank account, but want something strong.
How are steel driveshafts?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

dont see alot of broken steel ones cheaper too
i'll take some weight for strength anyday. Probably cheap too cause folks think they need to upgrade to aluminum to get that edge lol.

Is the Denny's Nitrous Ready piece the best/best for the money around?
I think that I may get this driveshaft.
Does anyone know what kind of wait that there is on the Denny's Nitrous Ready driveshaft??

I run the Denny's and seems to be a very strong piece.The U-joint's are huge on them.Handles my 3700lb car when I dead hook and pull the wheels a foot.
They should be able to get one to you quick this time of year.Just call and talk to Denny directly.He's a nice guy to deal with.

I'm actualy selling a 3.5" Lingenfelter shaft. I got with their stage one LS1 pakage. Cost me $299.00. I went to a 12 bolt and the length was off. So I now have a HD nitrous shaft. Anyway if ur interested shoot me an offer.
