Get the 2 piece one!! :D Just kidding.. I got mine from speedautomitve.com Talk to Scott and he can help you.. I have a 2001 SS driveshaft and they sold it to me for $135.00 .. I didnt notice much but it only weighs like 10 pounds and I ran the 1/4 at 15.2 @ 91.65mph with a 2.465 60' time.. It should've be a 14.8-14.9 but I was spinning through 1st and 2nd.. Thats going to end this week with the instalation of LCA's, Nittos, and my 3.42 LSD.. But when I ran that at Atco All I had was headers 3inch flowmaster and whisper lid with Aluminum DS.. not bad..Jeff ..

I didnt see your sig until after I posted but how much tq are you putting to the ground?? If its close to 400ft/lbs, which it probably is, I would get a driveshaft safty loop too just in case.. I dont know how strong the Aluminum D/S are but its better to be safe then sorry!!Jeff ..

Thanks for the help guys [img]smile.gif[/img] Yes, Jeff I have a two piece and there is a lot of torque going through it. I'm ordering the loop whether I get the alluminum shaft or not. Was looking into the Metco loop. It's a bit pricey but I like the idea that it's powerdercoated and looks good.2004 CE Corvette 10.86@132mph

I'd rather not say this but...the BMR driveshaft loop will induce unnecessary loss of ground clearance. Doesn't make much sense to me.
Any driveshaft from 82-present will fit. Stock LT1 shafts sell for less than $40, and weigh 17 pounds.
2-piece shafts weigh 27 pounds.
1LE shafts and LS1 shafts are comparable in weight, between 10 and 12 pounds.
You'll want a shaft with a higher critical speed than stock to keep driveshaft harmonic whip at a minimum, to prevent tailshaft seal and pinion seal and bearing wear. A thicker driveshaft is also stronger (such as the LPE 3.5" shaft) and less susceptible to whipping and deflection.Big cam. Big stall.
