Driveshaft .. a judgment call.

Thoughts on the driveshaft shop vs dynamic driveshaft? Driveshaft shop balances them to 9000rpms. But it seems dynamic is cheaper as well

I am not shy about spending smart money and would have no issue dropping 2k on a driveshaft.. . If you have roughly 8-12 weeks for a DSS or QA1 shaft.. go for it if you think more $$ equates to higher quality... I suspect none of these vendors are making these tubes or ends.. they are assembling from the same sources.. . .. after talking to mike I am confident in his knowledge and quality.
He build for some race car guys.. and would be out of business fast if the quality was sub par relative to higher cost alternatives.. Really feels to me a brand name marketing Difference to me.. .

Good news I finally got my shaft, Bad news since i was delayed getting the shaft in.. I missed my appointment with the exhaust guy who needs a few days dedicated to have my car.. new date early April.
Worse news.. the yoke that came with the shaft.. does not have 31 splines like a t56 Magnum... ( i did tell them magnum 31 spline) they sent this one..

Can someone confirm my thinking that this is the wrong yoke?

I think its wrong anyone have a good part number for a 1350 Yoke ?

Upside.. i was able to mock in the shaft without taking the torque arm out... Hooray.. !

I see why you’re confused. The link provided says it’s a 1350 but also that it’s a 29 spline with a blank spot that makes it a 30. Wish I had an answer for you.

QA1 does make their own tubes (as in mandrels for winding and cure ovens).
