hey guys... i just bought a 12 bolt off an individual on this boards and he kindly supplied me with 2 different driveshafts with 1350 yokes. one is a black steel driveshaft and the other appears to be a stock aluminum one with new u-joints. i do mostly street driving, but i would like to get a set of drag radials and get my 11.5 pass with my heads/cam car. which do you guys think i should use? has anyone had any bad experiences with either piece? i'm not too handy and my buddy is gonna help me install it, so i wanna try and put the right one on the first time....

ps- i do have a DS loop so i'm at least partly safe

thanks

I know the moser alumiumn drive shaft I was running in my bracket car was rated for 1500hp for a 3000lbs car on slicks with a 4 link. Personaly, unless stock aluminum GM driveshafts are known to be weak, I wouldnt see why you would use anything but aluminum for a 400hp car weighing 3600lbs. Use the aluminum.

still up in the air. maybe run the aluminum until it breaks

but if manufactured properly, why would aluminum break any quicker than steel?
