Default dead in the water!

Well, I've been racing my car for 8 yrs now and I finally had to get a ride home. Short story, installed Nitrous, replaced the stock rear with a Moser 12-bolt, and promptly snapped my driveshaft in two! Sounded like all hell was breaking loose down there. It definitely got my parking brake wire but I wont know the full damage until it's on a lift next week.

Anyone know what I should expect to find? Is there any specific collateral damage I should look for?

Sure as hell not going back with a stock saft!

The attached photo is proof positive. 12-bolt strong! Stock driveshaft weak!

Mine took out the cat back years ago when it broke an aftermarket driveshaft. Not a PST driveshaft like I use and sell today. Bob

PST is a pretty solid shaft? I'm looking for ideas.

Now that's the kind of warranty I like! Anything special I need to know if I'm connecting it to a 12-bolt?

Length wise no. However i would think your 12 bolt would be using a 1350 u joint. Did you have your stock u joints replaced on that driveshaft?
