I Just got my street drags and tonight at the track i twisted my drive shaft in half. Who offers an after market one? I am BPU with a front mount and off the line it was destroyed. Any help on where to get a new one would be awsome. Thanks.

 

[MDBlackTT]

I launched it kind of hard so... maybe i did this to my self. I have the 6 spuck stage 3 rps clutch with lighten rps flywheel. Any suggestions but maybe it was the launch not the power.

thats the second one i have seen do that.. it happend to some dude at Vegas... thats IMPRESSIVE!

Talk to Tony, as he twisted his into a pretzel. He posted about his new driveshaft in the drag racing section a while back.

 

[T AND X]

Posdong on this forum did the same thing. We were at the track and he only got three runs in. He was even running on street tires. Just got another oem one

WOTM's beefed up driveshaft, i havent draged my car yet (hoping to in 2 weeks).. but i sent it there. Hoping i wont have a problem with that this summer.

Sorry to hear about that bud. Talk with Frank from the driveshaftshop.com . He will set you up nicely. Also, like SteelCitySupra said...Ryan has a beefed up stock one too. I think that AAP Motorsports has something as well, but I know for sure the Driveshaftshop.com has one and they can get it to you pretty quick.

Hope that helps and good luck with whatever you decide.

DOM TUBE CARBON STEEL SHAFT
FROM $245.00-310.00
This shaft is for those race cars that
are dressed in street rod clothing they
can handle up to 1200hp and are serious
parts for serious built cars. The tube is
drawn over mandrel and is extremely close in tolerance,the balance usually comes out
better on these shafts because of the tube

****************************************************************
The culprit was more than likey wheel-hop. I twisted one at BPU
from my drag radials hopping on a cool track surface. If you are
getting hop be careful, the rear diff is just as vulnerable as the
driveshaft.

[MDBlackTT]

It did wheel hop a bit come to think of it. What is the best way to eliminate wheel hop?

 

[Alex D]

Tires, get some ET streets. What tires were you running and tire pressure?

 

[MDBlackTT]

BFG G-force street drags at about 25psi

BFG G-force street drags at about 25psi

Big mistake, leave the drag radials to the autos.

vnt :dunno:

 

[Alex D]

The air pressure is alittle higher than i would of used, probably would of lowered it to around 20psi and i think the wheel hop would of been heavily reduced. So far all the fast 6sp guys in MD have personally told me ET streets are the only way to go. I will try the ET street radials and ET streets. If i break a driveshaft or diff, it will be replaced with a upgraded shaft or TRD diff.

 

[MDBlackTT]

Other than the titan $1500 shaft who else offers one i could pick up quick?

 

[Alex D]

driveshaftshop.com can build you anything you want.

 

[MDBlackTT]

yeah i just looked at the shafts they have. Thanks. Should i look into the single shaft or what?

 

[Alex D]

I personally would go with teh Pro level complete shaft because its a whole new tube made from 4130 chrome moly. The joint are also 1350 which are extremely beefy. Its very similar to what i ran on my previous z28 as far as the joints go. This is what i would do, but do which ever suits your needs.

Just FYI, something further down the drivetrain will break if you use a stout driveshaft. You could break the ring/pinion or even tranny gears if the new driveshaft doesnt snap when you launch hard and dont slip the clutch well.
