DRIVESHAFT REPLACEMENT? ALUMINUM OR STOCK?
I ended up tearing the boot of my driveshaft at COTA a few weeks back. Not sure how or what happened, but i am being told there are no boot repair kits for the ZL1 1LE driveshaft. So I might as well upgrade if I am replacing.
The car is strictly used on track for road course. Is the best option Aluminum from driveshaft shop? https://www.driveshaftshop.com/domes...nsmission-only Has anyone hear good or bad things about aluminum driveshafts on track? or should I try to find a stock replacement? |

I have an Aluminium one for my 240SX track car (300 whp) from them and it's awesome. Made the car more responsive.
The ZLE has twice the power, but should be fine if the build quality is the same. I planned on upgrading in a year or two. |

You'll be fine. I've seen them on much higher HP cars and never personally knew anyone with an issue.

For another $500 (if your finances allow), you might consider CF. Not a whole lot of weight savings but if durability is the issue, CF may be a viable route/consideration for you.

The GForce 3.5" aluminum one is ultra smooth and very nice. Two thumbs up so far on mine.

I don't have personal experience with them, but when I was looking at driveshafts for my Z/28, I heard a LOT of bad feedback about DSS.
