Went with a 3" on a mid 3100ish lbs SS car. Go with their billet yolk as well. It's a very well built piece, hated to paint over it.

Best deal going on a nice driveshaft. I ordered mine through Summit for free shipping and all. Just be very sure to measure correctly. They come with nice Spicer joints and I used a MW billet yoke. it's overkill for my 1/8mi bracket car but I had a stock shaft that had been cut down and an adapter joint from 1310 to 1350.

It seems like a really good piece. My only dilemma is I can get the Strange ds and another brand 4 inch aluminum ds for about the same price and not positive which route to go. Car will be around 32-3300 and make around 900 hp

Be careful about 'critical speed' issues, there is more to driveshaft design than strength, RPM and length are determining factors in what diameter is correct.

Aluminum Driveshaft, the best IMO. Inland Empire, 2nd to none.

I think MW has a chart somewhere showing minimum critical speeds, length and diameters.

Aluminum Drive shafts are legal in Super Stock , Legal in Stock if the oem shaft was aluminum .
