Question Strange Chrome-moly driveshafts ?

>has anyone dealt with one of these ?
http://www.strangeengineering.net/catalog/index.html

are these stronger than http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/html/nitrous_ready.html

I believe that the prices are comparable .

My current favorite source for driveshafts is Dynatech due to quality and short turnaround. But Strange is fine as is Denny's. I don't think there is much to chose between them as far as quality. But recently when I needed a shaft Denny's couldn't promise it in less than 3-4 weeks, Dynatech shipped in 3 days and I have been using them since.

I doubt any of us will ever break any of the shafts mentioned (at least in a SBC car).

The Strange is 4130 tubing, 3" diameter x 0.083" thick. That is identical to the specs on the Mark Williams 3" chrome moly DS... I use the MW, and a friend of mine also runs one in a 3,500# 30th SS convertible putting down well over 1,000rwHP, and running in the 8's. I would expect Strange and Mark Williams quality and strength to be very similar. You do need to select the correct tranny slip yoke..... forged or billet.
