3.5" aluminum driveshaft - 1200 hp rating!
3.5" aluminum driveshaft - 1000 hp rating! 
http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=541
There seems to be a lot of questions lately about driveshafts, so I thought I would post about the one I have found to be very durable. I broke a competitors 3.5" aluminum driveshaft three years ago, which uses a 1330 yoke, and requires a conversion U Joint. Mine broke right at the 1330 yoke. The PST driveshaft uses a beefier 1350 yoke and includes a heavy duty 1350/1350 U Joint. I haven't heard of anyone managing to break this driveshaft.
1350 Spicer Series: Manufactured with OEM tolerances and treated with PST's Cryogenic Process to yeild the strongest U-Joint available. For drag racing applications a solid non-lube design U-Joint is recommended because of the tremendous initial shock load, or short duration of high torque the joint must be able to withstand.
6061-T6 Dom tubing gives the most concentric Aluminum Driveshaft available. High strength aluminum tube yokes are Mig welded with less than 10 thousands total run out. The aluminum driveshaft is balance to less than 1/4 oz/in to assure vibration free operation.
Note: The stock G.M. driveshaft uses a lowly 1310 yoke! Bob

Hey Bob,
I took your advice and went with the PST Aluminum I got barely used from another member here. My vibration is gone, and I've launched hard enough to get light under the front tires with no trouble.

How does this one compare in weight?

I'll pass. I'm not trying to ridicule or anything but I've seen personally 3 f-bodies with over 500hp on stock DS launching at 4-5k everytime I go to the track.
I don't think they break as easily as you guys think or maybe some of the other guys that did have their stock ones break just got some of a bad batch from the factory.

They are treading on thin ice... trust me. I hope they have at least a DS loop.
Heres what happened to a local 500 something HP car...
