Your shaft probably hits under accel when your axle twists from torque. The pinion will twist up another inch or two.

The driveshaft looks grim. You definitely need to add hoops and an uprated shaft. For now take it easy.......... no wheelies
I've gotta say your engine sounds really tough!
Very throttle responsive with that Vic Jr.
The rear gear change will make a very nice difference and then the serious tuning can begin.

Don't worry about any wheelies...as a matter of fact you'll be happy to know that at the car show on sunday as you saw me leave, there was a perfect opportunity to do a burnout in front of the camera crew that was there. They had their camera pointed at my truck giving me the thumbs up and I pulled out like a grandma...they even cut me out of vid when they posted it on the net.
They did get chase and Dave burning out though.
Axle and gears are waiting on what wilwood will say about the brakes...I'm getting tired of waiting on them though, it's been three weeks already. And if I break a drive shaft I'll be pissed!!

You should either look into have a new driveshaft made or get yours retubed. Hope everything get's fixed
