I've decided on going with Suburban Driveline to get my driveshaft done, and of course his first question is "Steel or Aluminum"
I told him exactly what I was looking for and what I was providing, and he gave me a ball park $250 for steel, or $350 for Aluminum.
So I come to everyone here for a bit of guidance...
Isn't steel stronger than Aluminum in applications like this?
I will be launching the piss out of this car on the dragstrip, and I will be taking it to auto-X's and road-courses eventually.
It has a 3.91 gear out back, and plenty of torque (est. 300-350ft/lbs).
The $100 doesn't phase me, but If steel is stronger AND cheaper, I don't think the rotating mass weight reduction would really be worth it? Or am I totally wrong and Alum is stronger AND lighter typically?
