I need a custom driveshaft
It's finally time to install a driveshaft. I'm running an LSA motor (supercharged) with a 6L90e transmission and a Ford 9" rear end with Truetrac. I'll likely have around 700HP. What are the advantages of steel/aluminum and who should I use? I'd appreciate any tips you might have.

I need a custom driveshaft
Steel is fine for just about anything. Aluminum is lighter but needs to be bigger than steel for the same strength which can limit exhaust clearance if it's a tight squeeze underneath.
Chromoly is stronger than steel so it can be a smaller diameter too.

If you do a search for "driveshaft" I suspect that you will find no shortage of opinions here.... I am leaning towards working with Mark Williams when the time comes, but I also believe Inland Empire is a sponsor here and has many good recommendations.

I have driveshafts from Denny's on the Chevelle and El Camino. Never had a single issue with either one.
