I am looking into purchasing a drive shaft for my ls1 powered firebird. The car is a "max-effort" style street/strip car making less than 1000hp. Can someone help me.

I sell the PST 3.5" aluminum driveshaft which is rated for 1200 hp. It comes with the front yoke and both 1350 U Joints. $399.00, and is located in the store area of my website. Bob

frees up ~5% hp (~20hp on a 400hp car) and does minimal damage, if any, if it breaks.

And is also 800 bucks . I'll be going with the PST when the time comes. 1200hp, aluminum, and great price. I dont think I'll ever break it. Now dont get me wrong, I'd love to have that carbon fiber driveshaft, but its definitely pricey. I hear when they break, all they do is clean the underbody of your car

I have the 3.5" aluminum PST and it's a great item. You can also polish it like I have if you want the underside of your car to look nice.

i know it's pricey but look at it this way:

you have to spend $400 either way so:

-get a strong driveshaft (PST aluminum)
or
-spend $400 and get a strong driveshaft plus 20hp

i'd look at it as is 20hp worth $400 rather than look at it as an $800 driveshaft since you gotta buy one anyway. look at it as a $400 power adder

either way i'm sure you'll be happy. the PST driveshaft sounds damn nice.

You can get the 1350 differential yolk for 7.5 at Rady's Rings & Oinion

lol i don't mean to pressure you into blowing all your money and all. i'm just saying if since you gotta buy one anyway and you're gonna spend $400, you may as well spend another $400 and pick up 20hp and the added safety of near zero damage if the driveshaft ever breaks. very VERY few mods will add 20hp for $400.

if you were just looking for a mod, i'd never recommend an $800 driveshaft...but since you gotta do it ANYWAY, an extra 20hp would be nice

if you can't afford it, PERIOD, don't get it. no use messing up your finances over a driveshaft. however, if you can't afford it NOW but can in another month if you spend sensibly, i think it's worth waiting for.

yeah i will probably go with the carbon fiber drive shaft. money really isn't a big deal right now.

ChocoTaco369

man i can't wait til the day when i can say this

for you, on a car making ~1000hp, that carbon fiber will be worth 40-50hp by the sounds of it!

Spohn sells Strange one for under $400. Check their site.

Yes, they "broom" into fibers and lighten your car by stripping away all of the undercoating for you. J/K. They are pretty good if you can swing the price though and as an added benefit they tend to dampen/quiet down/kill some/most of the NVH inherent in our cars' drivetrain.

Can these carbon fiber driveshafts handle the power of car making 1000+ rwhp? Launching on sticky tires too?

TTT Good question.

Denny's Nitrous good for like 2,000 hp, with a lifetime guarantee against breakage.

Be careful with carbon fiber...Injuneer (Fred) a mod on cz28 broke one at 700 hp just driving it from one shop to another...

That would make them not worth the money in my book, but that's just me.
