G-Force Driveshaft(s)?? I'm gonna pull the trigger on a new driveshaft this evening or tomorrow. G-force is now offering up a one piece as well as their two piece version. My V1 will never have more than 500 rwhp so I am looking for peace, quiet, and longevity. The two piece is now $999 and the one piece aluminum is $899. Pros and cons to each? Which way should I go guys??? Thanks for the input fellas.

If you want a one piece you should get the carbon fiber one. Otherwise stick with the two piece. The only advantage to a one piece is a little less slop and therefore a little less drivetrain loss

Good stuff guys. I read a thread earlier saying to buy the carbon fiber instead of the aluminum when it comes to the Driveshaft Shops' two options. I really cant justify droppin 1800ish on a driveshaft either. G-forces' Aluminum one piece seems to be from Dynatech(?) and looks to be different than the aluminum one piece from the DSS though. I must admit, the Dynatech 1-piece from G-force looks sexy but must be a compromise of some sorts given the $100 cheaper price tag than the 2-piece.

Its also in the critical speed man...think those alum 1 pieces only go up to 140ish-150ish for most companies that make them...I know I have been there before so I don't ever want to be in that predicament

I have the Gforce/Dynatech 1 piece. I like it. worth it to me. I have the Hendrix 1000hp axles and Kars III. working with Katech to have the short throw revamped (removing 1/4" material on bottom) to clear the shaft. this will keep you from having to put spacers under the tranny brace.

Did you run your KARS III with the stock driveshaft prior to upgrading? The reason I'm asking is because I'm in a situation where I believe my stock driveshaft is causing some low level vibration. I do have a Revshift Flex Disc but it's properly installed so I think the stock driveshaft carrier bearing may be the culprit.

Ordered the dynatech yesterday. On a different note, does anyone have a stock transmission mount that isnt new but isnt completely compressed and still plyable? Or is there a process to soften the now hardened/compressed rubber of my original tranny mount enough to squeeze in a revshift insert? Boil some water and dip it in and spread it?? Calling on thermal dynamic engineers lol.
