Default What are you running for a driveshaft

Since the driveline is all custom I need to start looking for a shaft that will handle the hp and torque of my FE and the sustained rpm.

So for 700hp and 150+mph what do you run for a driveshaft. AL, steel, CF?

Anyone use these guys?

How about inland empire

Anyone have any good or bad driveshaft vendor stories to share?

Ron, I think he might need larger than 1/4" (=3/12")

Hurst Drivelines used Inland as the supplier for my conversion. They exceeded all expectations. I had the driveline within 7 calendar days of submitting my measurements.

We all need banned and HELP. I'm running a 3.5" Aluminum from Inland and it's hanging in there fine so far.

I run a 4" Carbon Fiber driveshaft from Mark Williams. Super light, less high rpm vibration and stronger than aluminum. One good advatange (hopefully it never happens) is that if it fails, then it will shatter rather than poke threw the floor. It's rated for drag launches and high driveline rpms.
