Hendrix-Engineering aluminum drive shaft in testing

That's right guys we are finishing up our new aluminum driveshaft and will begin the testing phase shortly. We will be able to offer you a lightweight aluminum driveshaft that will hold over 1000 hp but yet be as smooth as silk. I will keep you guys updated and post pictures as we go.

It will be a two piece design,a one piece will not give a smooth vibration free ride like a quality two piece.A one piece ds will have a low critical speed where as a two piece will have an unlimited speed rating.Our 2 piece has been over 200 mph in a gto and remained smooth as silk.It will hold a 1000hp with its huge 1350 u joints .Please understand that a light driveshaft on a 3800lb street car will NOT help you ,dont fall for that common sales pitch.
