Construction & Design

The driveshaft is crafted from high-strength chromoly steel, known for its excellent tensile strength and fatigue resistance. This material choice ensures the shaft can endure the stresses of aggressive launches and high RPM operation without failure. The 3-inch diameter tubing provides an optimal balance of rigidity and weight savings, contributing to improved drivetrain response.

Unique to this driveshaft is the use of custom billet plates that convert the factory rubber-style drives to robust 1350 series U-joints, significantly increasing joint durability and reliability under high torque loads. Additionally, the shaft is dynamically balanced using a state-of-the-art balancer capable of spinning at speeds up to 95,000 RPM, far exceeding typical balancing machines. This advanced balancing process addresses mid-shaft slider instability that can occur above 5,000 RPM, ensuring a smooth and vibration-free driving experience.
