Steel driveshaft Vs PST 3.5
 

I have a line on either of them, I realize that the PST is probably the best route. But has anybody really had any problems with the steel driveshafts?which would be my best route?

Thanks

See your LOCAL driveline shop...

I would go with the pst aluminum DS on N/A setup for boost go with steel.

We sell PST drive shafts daily and have had very good luck with their product.

As far as which one is best it basically falls down to your budget, set up, and room for fitment. The PST 3" steel and the PST 3.5 aluminum are rated basically the same but you have to deal with the extra size of the 3.5 if you have tight tolerances but you also get a pound or two of weight loss with it as well.

Whats your deal. You sit around all day just so you can post bullshit?

I had a PST 3.5 aluminum driveshaft on my Z28, never had a problem with it. Bob

I probably should have added I meant a factory steel driveshaft.... Regardless they're put on the back burner as I ruined 2nd gear last night.

Where did you see bs.... something wrong with his local shop ?

Thanks! Bob

Once thing people do not look at is the race weight of the car as weight has a signifigant factor any may driveline type parts. Now most racers would say that if your going to run the car hard, the smart thing to do is lighten it up and I tend to agree. My car is a heavier street car and I suspect the 3.5 PST would probably be fine.

When I race though I let it fly off the limiter and I expect to have Nitrous on at some point and ultimately I felt the 3" Steel Nitrous Ready DS from Denny suited my needs better.

So in the end, who is to say.

Either one as long as it is aftermarket. You should be fine.

The original SLP car (Nick) is still using the 3" AL shaft we did, i can't remember how many years ago, that car has been on the back wheels just like Bobs and 1.2' 60's for a long time now.

the clearance between the shaft and the front torque arm bolt is tight with the stock shaft,with a 3.5 alum shaft I am concerned.the steel 3" is good enough.

Damn.... I'm glad you mentioned that! I forgot how close they are...
