Default Who makes the lightest/strongest/best balanced driveshaft?

Im gonna need a custom driveshaft built for my car and I was wondering where would I go to get one? Im looking for one that is going to be light because its going to be longer than the one that Ive got. I also want it to be strong because the stock one doesnt hold up once you start putting real power up agaisnt it. Lastly, I want it to be well balanced using a high speed balancer because it makes a big difference on how well the balance it. Thanks

Call Denny's Driveshafts. and ask about the "Nitrous-Ready" driveshaft.
www.dennysdriveshaft.com
Its a bullet-proof steel driveshaft that will handle well over 1000HP. And its way cheaper than the carbon-fiber ACPT driveshaft, and it wont break. ever. He also has a lifetime warranty on it to back this up. And yes, it is high-speed balanced and tested.

Definitely give Denny's a call. I have an ACPT carbon fiber, but since you are already going custom call Denny's.

Wouldnt a carbon fiber driveshaft be lighter than a steel or aluminum one? The driveshaft is already going to be longer than the stock one and I planned on getting the steel one, so I dont want to add too much weight, I actually want to lose it. Is the ACPT really worth the money?
