    Custom driveshafts?

    Hey all, it’s been a very long time since I have purchased a custom driveshaft. I used to always go to Dwight at driveline in whitby, but he has sold the business so I hear. Looking for suggestions, the wagon will make around 850-900hp once the supercharger is installed.

    Any shop recommendations?
    What materials do you recommend?
    I’m leaning towards carbon.

    I had heard same thing but last time out he was still there.
    No one makes a shaft like he does.

    I went through this last year for my GT and used the guys at Driveline and decided on a DOM steel driveshaft.

    Aluminum was very expensive and carbon prices weren’t even an option for my build.
    Unless you’re chasing time slips regularly or racing for cash I would just stick to steel.

    Perfect I will likely go this route also.
