Default Aluminum or Steel Driveshaft??

Vehicle - 2002 Camaro Z28 4L60E with GU5 3.23's. I have a
steel driveshaft, but an aluminum driveshaft was given to me
by my brother, I know the rotational mass will change, but anyone
running into problems with them? Thanks.

One more thing, need some heavy duty u-joints? Any ideas on manufact?

Precision 234 is a nice solid body ujoint that will fit our cars. There is no real advantage with either shaft. They both are weak. I'd lean towards the steel if I was going to be running sticky tires and more towards the aluminum for a car with street tires or for high speeds.

Stay with steel if you race alot. Otherwise aluminum will do ok.
