Yep...talk to me. I put an email into PSTD out of Florida for some shaft suggestions. I have my wife's car on the lift right now with no wheels or brakes under it. Those show up this week, then it comes off and I'm hoping by next weekend I can have the Camaro up in the air to start the repairs.
I'll need to take a measurement for the new shaft - have to jack it up and get that today.
Time is going to be tight
Funny thing is...even at 425 hp or so...I never imagined the shaft being a weak link. Going over that...yes. We just wrapped up a 900 hp turbo trans am and got it out of the shop a couple of weeks ago. That one had a custom shaft from PSTD and it was also set up for living a 1/4 mile at a time. I just never imagined mine doing this.
Years ago I had a Jeep CJ7 with oversized tires and a 4.2 six. I snatched a gear hard going into second - chirped the tires and threw that shaft out on the road. Being 4x4, I locked the front hub in and limped it home.
