Default Snapped T56 Output Shaft

So my local track was finally pretty well-prepped and my ET Street Radials stuck enough to destroy my output shaft.. So, Tick is about to receive some more of my business for the level 2 rebuild with Viper mainshaft. My question here is this, which yoke will I need? I have the 3" steel PST driveshaft going to my Moser 9" rear. Wondering if the 1350 ujoint I already have on the driveshaft will work with a new 30 spline yoke? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Just out of curiously, have you shined a light down your slip yoke to see if the splines are twisted?

My setup is in my sig, it's MS3 camonly, monster level 3 with tick MC, Moser 9" 4.30's wavetrac with RTS' and 275-60-15 et street radials and I launched close to 5k lol. From the same track, I usually would leave from 4500 but would roast the tires or if I left lower it would bog so after seeing how sticky the track was being, I swung for the fences but since it finally deadhooked, the output shaft didnt appreciate it lol

Told ya lol, and I really have no clue on the defect, it held up to quite a bit of hard launches but finally when it went out, it went out with style haha

It kinda fell out with the output shaft lol. Luckily with the new viper mainshaft I'll have a new bushing and seal anyway

What kind of 60ft time's were you pulling before you broke this? I have had about 15 launches in the 1.3 range about 20-30 in the 1.4 range and couldn't count how many 1.5 range all with the stock mainshaft and pretty close to full weight. ..that sucks that happened but you might want to put some time into learning how to clutch slip or get a slipper clutch cause a side step straight dump of the clutch will break stuff over and over....if you leave on spray maybe have some sort of delay or something

Best of 1.6 60' but usually due to spinning, and with the Monster lvl 3 I've learned it doesn't like getting slipped out of the hole so now I just dump it lol. I feel like if I had a full face instead of the 6 puck I could get away with slipping it more but eh, hopefully with the viper mainshaft I can get away with more!
