Hey Ken,
I hope you have a good supply of Spydershafts. At the price you are selling them at they will go quick. I ordered mine about an hour before seeing your price. Great deal!

Haven't sold any online yet! I was kinda suprised when sook said he ordered one and it wasn't from us. I'm not really pushing it at that price though, that's VERY cheap as you can tell. I just want the word around that we are now carrying the spyder shafts. I'll probably have that price through the end of the year.

Don't worry Ken. We will put the word out. It won't take long. You have me hoping the place I ordered mine from tells me they are out of stock on Monday so I can cancel and order one from you guys.

Sorry I wasn't being very clear. I ordered from sutton HP. I didn't read the whole thread through. As soon as I saw spyders link in post #28, I clicked on it. Impulse took over and I just ordered it... then I saw your pricing. I was going to cancel the Sutton HP one and go with you Ken, then I went all the way through and saw shipping was $26 to my door. So I would only save about ten bucks over Sutton. Sorry dude. This will teach me to always read the whole thread and not get distracted by those shiny hyperlinks.

Take a look at the driveshafts that we have to offer at :
www.shaftmasters.com
We offer different options depending on if you want to tackle changing the pinion flange or not. We have sold many shafts with the adapter plate and have yet to receive a complaint of any vibration. We also offer a heavy-duty 3.5 inch diameter .125 wall tube version.

if TCI or PI can make me a really high stall converter and/or a transbrake i could probably run mid 11's with my current combo.

It has been our experience that an aluminum driveshaft with quality non-greasable universal joints will consistently balance better and run smoother than a steel driveshaft at the higher RPM’s produced by today’s overdrive transmissions.

Why would someone go with the 4" vs. the 3.5" ? On the surface, the 3.5" sounds better - lighter, spins up quicker due to less circumference, etc.
Is it safe to assume that the 4" is stronger?
What would be the best choice for a daily driven SC car that will take an occasional trip to the strip?

Just thought I'd update. My spydershaft is half installed. Which is to say that my old driveshaft and pinon flange are out. I unexpectedly had friday off and saw that my new shaft was "out for delievery" so I decided to get a head start. I never got the shaft and the delivery has been rescheduled to monday for some reason. So currently my car is shaftless for the weekend. My inpatience pays off again
