has anyone dealt with the driveshaft shop. if so please post your experience with them. what stage shafts you go (1, 2, or 3). what setup you have? what hp and torque your making? have they held up and if so how many months. if not how many months. how much you spent on them. i am currently in the process of building a twin turbo contour with around 500 hp and torque. im either going with the 2.5 v6 duratec or the noble m400 3.0 v6 duratec.

i talked to terry haines. im most likely going with the noble engine and a single turbo. but i need help to put the power down. i need peoples opinions on driveshafts, turbo, etc. so i can get an idea of not just what i like and see in mags but what everyone is actually using and actually working. i did take a double take and it looks like the rear exhaust manifold barely fits back there so how would a turbo fit. downstream by the cat but then all pressure is lost and a bigger single turbo would prevail. thank you everyone with your help. -James C

Replacing driveshafts is easy enough ... use the stock units until you have a problem, THEN replace them with DSS if you feel the need.

b/c something that im interested and want to do but never dealt with before doesnt mean im not going to pay attention. i thought thats why we have forums like this. for people who share similar ideas and thoughts and help each other out. if people werent sacastic and give real advice then i would take it.
