Thanks but I'm very lucky in the fact that I own a wrecker company so tows are easy and cheap. I worked out a deal for the dealer to do the work (free).

We are running a sale on DSS products. We are the largest distributor of DSS products in the world. If you would like to get a driveshaft and axles I will work you up a great package deal!

Aluminum shaft fit perfectly!

Even with the heat shield in place!

Do you have any plans for a nine diff inch with the power increase...

I have the DSS kit, nine inch diff, axles and driveshaft...

I'm having a new driveshaft built to fit my new one off transmission. I have my DSS 3.5 inch one piece aluminum shaft ready to go... It is for a TR6060 if you have a manual trans... with the nine inch... PM me if you're interested...My new shaft is going to be a 4" aluminum one piece shaft...

I remember Warren Johnson tried a carbon fiber drive shaft on his prostock car and he broke it. This was back in the Late 1990's I want to say. Maybe early 2000.

I have 17k miles on my car and at least 75 runs at the dragstrip and quite a few over 900 rwhp and never broke my stock driveshaft. I have however up-graded to the aluminum DSS driveshaft with a new tranny and rear diff upgrade by RPM Transmissions for this new racing season.

There's a huge difference in CF technology now compared to the 90's.
