But I want a quality dynamically balanced drives haft for my car. Just wondering what racers are going with. Only two comes to mind.

MW offers 2, one being a glued alum design, which I have and is likely the stronger version, but not able to be shortened. Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Nothing special, just 3" diameter tubing...what they refer to as "thick wall"...I have no idea how thick it is. 1350 spicer joints. Ran the same shaft for about 6 years, 3 years running mid 10s, 3 running mid 9s. Didn't twist it until last fall when the transmission exploded. Reused the ends and had em make me another one.

CHIP I was gonna suggest a local shop. I had a aluiminum one made local a couple years ago. It's not in a race car, just my 440 challenger. I called him on the phone and told him what I needed and he had it ready the next morning. No freight bills to pay and if it's not right he's right down the street.

I've had work done by them in the past and was happy with the work. I got a smokin' deal on a used carbon fiber shaft made by Mark Williams that fit my car so that's what I run now. The CF shaft is nice because if it breaks it will shatter and not beat the crap out of the chassis. They are plenty strong, it came out of a very heavy blown alky car a friend has. Jim

He bought a steel shaft and has been happy with it. I don't remember who made either at this time.
