I'm not making a ton of power, but I just changed out my old stock tapered driveshaft(3"X2.5") with 3R ujoints......still intact after many, many runs

went to a 3.5" driveshaft with 1350's....first thing I noticed was the weight difference!....the 1350 yoke's and ujoints add some weight!.......massive pieces of hardware.........beats putting it into the wall at 120mph....piece of mind

what weight are you at?

good runs!....

Haven't weighed this car yet..the old one was right at 3900 lbs with me in it..This one may be 100lbs lighter..I will weigh it soon I'm curious.
Most likely going again Oct 10th to the track to test again..it will be cooler as long as there is some track prep that night should be faster!
