This is the second drive shaft I received from DSS.
First one was replaced under warranty due to bad drive line vibration .
I received the second one about 4 weeks after returning the first one .
I had it installed at the same time as the stage 2 whipple . I am down to a 3.625 pulley which helped improve my 60 ft times from 1.85 to 1.77
Car has been a best of 10.5@137 so it’s not making crazy power ...probably low to mid 700.
I had made about 6 passes supercharged before it let go yesterday after I had made one pass .
I had to do a burnout manually with the brake as the line lock has only worked intermittently since the whipple drive shaft/install. I had attributed that to the tune . Sometimes the advance track light would come on at full steering lock but go off by just restating the car .
I don’t have a a 2 step and had stalled the car to 2000 rpm . Heard the noise (I am
quiet familiar with the sound after breaking 2 on my 12/TVS car when it was a manual ) before I launched .
I had to get a tow home but was pretty sure it was the DS (ther was a lot of white foam underneath the car ) . I could not see the the middle of the drive shaft but could see it was still attached to the rear . I did have a safety loop and thank God it let go at the line (usually does) and not during the previous pass .
I fully expect them to warranty it but honestly don’t want to mess around with another one. I put the stock one back in but considering ordering a G Force alluminum one . If they warranty it I could keep the one they send as “back up “ or sell it but I would not recommend for FI use .
