You do a 3500 RPM dump off the line with Nitto's, and a Mcleod Twin Disk! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

WOW! I'm really surpised it broke so easy. I have launched higher than that with hoosier QTP's and it lived.

P.S. I got a stock aluminum driveshaft for sale for 50$ if you want it. but its got the a adapt-a-joint in it for the 1350 yolk on the 12-bolt.

Welcome to the club. I did the same thing to mine.

My driveshaft

You can get a Denny's Nitrous ready driveshaft on sale right now. I just saw them under their weekly specials. Guaranteed not to break, free labor on repairs (which is what you will need when you break a u-joint like I did). Pretty decent price too. Get the 1350 slip yoke too!

I have a loop. There is no damage. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Now I have a 10 bolt with 2.73 gears! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> Until I get my 12 bolt. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
It works, I am very happy to be able to drive my car now, especially since I got a great deal on it. I can't use 6th gear! <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" /> At 70 in 6th I tach 1500 RPM <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

I am ready for Bonaville! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Also my rear end popped, and locked up at the same time giving the drive shaft no where to go but to rip itself into peices. OH well, breaking is just an excuse to upgrade! <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Thanks, yes that is the drive shaft I am going to get, also a 12 bolt is in my near future. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
