Default Anybody using PST 3.5 driveshafts?

I just ordered a PST 3.5 driveshaft for my car and was wondering if anybody is using it, and does it hold the power? My 6spd street car makes 550+rwhp N/A. I went to the track and twisted the stock driveshaft in two. I was going to do a steel DS but I went with PST DS.Going to a 3.5 DS will I have fitting issues? I have a strange 12bolt, 3inch true duels, adj torque arm with the cross brace.

Well, I run a PST 3.75" driveshaft, although it is carbon fiber. I'm guessing yours is aluminum.

So, I can really only speak for fitment issues. I run my 3.75" CF driveshaft through a driveshaft loop and straight to my Strange 12-bolt, no issues. The carbon fiber shaft should handle anything I'd ever throw at it, and I would assume that their aluminum shaft would be fine at your power levels.

It is the alum one. I just don't want to break again. I plan on doing a FI set up in April. So will this DS take 550rwhp launches at 5000 RPM at the track? Will it take 800+rwhp launches to when I do FI? I very rare go to the track it is more a hwy car

There suppose to be good to either 1000 or 1200 hp. I broke mine just after installing and breaking in the M9, and did it on the street. I was planning on getting a PST anyhow, just fig'd the stocker would hold on the damn street! It must have been hurt from when I broke the 10 bolt with ET Streets. I'll be calling up Bob at EPP in a few weeks to get mine on the way. Got alot going on right now.

I ordered mine from Bob today. I broke mine at the track. I have only been to the track twice and both times I broke 1st time was the clutch, got the twin disk. 2nd time with the first launch twisted the ds into 2.

I'm not at your power level, but I'm running the aluminum PST shaft on ET streets and a 9". I like it. I'm cammed now, but still don't know what I'm putting down and haven't even gotten to try it yet. Damn Louisiana weather!!

I'am running one, not at the HP your putting out, but I beat on it and have had no problems so far (knock on wood) and it has less vibration than my stock shaft.
