Driveshaft length and 12 bolt?

I am thinking about ordering a Denny's Nitrous Ready Driveshaft. Mine is out of balance, again, and I dont see the point in spending any more money on it. I am using the stock 10 bolt right now, but am going to go to a 12 bolt later on. Will the driveshaft work on a 12 bolt also?

Id wait until you got the 12bolt and go to denny's website and do the measurement sheet he has so your DS will be the perfect length.
I went with a N20 ready shaft and its awesome. No viration at 80mph like all my other Drivshafts....

With my Strange 12 the driveshaft is the same as a 10 bolt.

With a Moser 12 bolt my stock legnth denny's nitrous ready ds makes the clearance a little tight, you want 1/2-1" of play, closer to 1" for higher hp applications....get it a little shorter then stock. I THINK (you have to search for forums for this) the stock DS is 42 1/2", 42" mite be better or 42 1/4"

I had a Denny HD shaft (97ss Camaro 383 - D1 - M6) with a modified gm 10 bolt. I broke it. The drive shaft was a good piece. Then I went to a Moser 12. It had 1350 yoke. I talked to Denny to alter, but, the shaft could not be altered due to cutting within the HAZ of the weld. So, I purchased a new Denny HD with 1350 yoke. All of their drive shafts are quality parts. Hope this helps. B.

Awesome, thanks guys. I will probable just try and find a used steel one for now, and then when I get the 12 bolt get me a nitrous ready driveshaft.
