I'm buying a 3 1/2 driveshaft that should be ready for tomorrow. The stock driveshaft is 2 3/4, and the one I'm buying is also twice as thick. Should I feel any difference or see any difference that might affect on my timeslips?

That's true, and the weird thing is that I
had just bought the nitto drags. I think the
hooking of the tires made the driveshaft
take all the pain.

That stuff is crazy glad to hear you're ok, Ivan. The guys from BL were at Edgar's the day after that happened and they were freaked out as well, i know i would have been ing bricks. I did not know the driveshaft could break like that, i've only heard of one that broke at the dyno in pharr. I've taken my truck up to around 123mph only once and it wasn't a pretty experience, fortunately nothing broke, but it feels pretty loose considering that it still has stock suspension. I guess this serves as a learning experience for all of us...be careful out there guys...



p.s. see you at board wars on friday
