Default Who makes the best drive shaft
I just got a 12bolt and my FLT trans . I now need a drive shaft but im also not looking to spend a arm & a leg. The car on motor should make a little over 450 and I plan on putting a 2-300 shot on the car .

thanks

With a 300-shot, I would go with a Denny's nitrous-ready shaft. I have one on my TA and it's guaranteed to never break.

Well I wouldn't trust any stock aluminum, I'd run a DS loop and an aftermarket chrome moly.

I have been running a Denny's for at least 10 years maybe more. I highly recommend it!

Check out Driveshaft Specialist if Texas. Their Performer DS is rated at 800hp and there Nitro DS is rated up to 2000hp. My performer cost me 335.00 + shipping. The shafts are high speed balanced and customer service is great. They have a nice web site or call and talk to Jeff.
