Default Looking for a good driveshaft

I have a 440 rwhp street/strip car. Ford 9" and 6 speed. I know I need a new driveshaft but Really don't know which one to go with any suggestions and prices?

I have been looking at a Strange, PST, or spohn is there any others out there that wont break the bank that are pretty decent? Thanks

EPP will try to sell you their aluminum model, which is a good unit.
But for less, look at the Strange or Spohn chromoly unit.
Your choice, and your money.

Yes its a little pricey. Does pst sell a chromoly one for less? Does anyone know? I don't have a full blown drag car just need something better than the stocker, That I can run stickies with and not worry about it.

I went through a local place thinking I could save some money a while back when I broke my first DS. For the price I wound up paying, I could have damn near bought a denny's or PST. The real bad thing was that it had weights riveted to the tubing. There are a few places on e-bay that do driveshafts for cheap. Do a search for "aluminum" in the "transmission and Drivetrain" , subsection " u-joints and driveshafts". I was leery of what I'd get the second time around. I ordered a PST from Exotic Friday. I called Denny's last week btw, and they said they no longer do the aluminum ones because they cant get the material anymore.

Ordered a Strange chromoly through Midwest, Think I'll be happy with my decision. About the best price I could find.

I think the ones Spohn sells are Strange. That's the way I'd go.
