DynoTech chrom-molydrive shaft very nice and strong. Custom built to your needs and mine was $380. Allot of the big guys around MI area are using them like my buddy's 9.40 camaro. And for me they are 20 minutes away in troy Michigan!

Inland Empire's 3.5inch HD Aluminum. It feels lighter than the stock one cause the stock one has this huge flywheel on the trans yoke. Inland Empire's didn't have it.

Mark williams here, if its a stick don't forget to get billet yoke it'll pay for itself in the long run. You won't break a mark williams shaft either nice product.

Does the billet yoke come with the dennys or is it extra.

I went with the Dennys Nitro shaft. Dennys will replace it if I ever break it. What more could you want? BTW, it only weighed something like 4lbs more than stock.

Inlands seem pretty nice, but i've seen them break. A fellow up at US41 was running high 10s in his six speed and broke it turning 1.5 60foots.

Runnin' the denny's + billet yoke. Cuttin' consistent 1.36 short times sprayin' outta the hole <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ... For the price... It's the best out there.

I'm using a 3.5" aluminum DS from Driveline of Baton Rouge. They have built nearly all the driveshafts here locally and everyone has been extremely pleased.

With the billet yoke, the Nitrous-Ready driveshaft came to around $515.00 shipped to my door. That's still way cheaper than the carbon-fiber DS, and WAY stronger. Denny builds this same driveshaft for IHRA Pro Modified (6 second) cars.

Default Re: Whos drive shaft are you running

My first drive shaft was a "TRICK" CF with a price tag of almost $800.... I cut a 1.36 ...once... It didn't seem to like that too much. It ended up in 2 pieces.

Too bad, cause it was a nice unit... only weighed 5.3 pounds.

P.S.... No warranty on the TRICK shaft either... Thats what made dennys so attractive
