Default Which driveshaft should I get Steel or Alum.

Now that i am looking for a new driveshaft what should i get. what are the cons of a steel HD driveshaft. I noticed SLP has one and im thinking on getting it over the aluminum one.

Check out the alum ones that Bob at EPP sells once. They are a bit hard on the wallet but so are all the others. These things are nicely balanced and rated to 1200 hp with a lifetime warrenty. I got one last month but havent put it in yet as I need more parts before I tear the car all apart into pieces.

I bought a steel unit, from Denny, my car is a heavy one and was from a previous fbody that was intended for n2o, if you get a good sized aluminum such as a 3.5", it should more then hold up to your expecations.

When you break your 12 bolt, and start searching around the internet, you will be suprised on how many people have broken them, Strange, Moser, who ever.
