Anywhere cheaper for new lifters/driveshaft?
I've got cash in hand, but is Dal Slabaugh or Jason Cromer cheaper for GM lifters and a driveshaft than GMPartsdirect?
GMPartsdirect charges $45 for shipping the driveshaft, and $36 for shipping the lifters, making the driveshaft total $269 and the lifters $218.
Hurry with response, this money's burning a hole in my pocket!

LPE driveshaft
Combination Motorsports lifters
That should help
Jason is probably cheaper, but the LPE driveshaft is a great buy. Dunno about the lifters...

I searched Sallee Chevrolet and Pace Performance also. Their shipping wasn't inflated, but the total price difference was comparable so I stuck with GMpartsdirect for the lifters and went ahead and ordered a driveshaft from LPE.
My theory on used driveshafts is: even though someone says it's in good shape, you don't know how it was stored, so if it was outside in the weather the u-joints could be all rusted/corroded and by the time you replace the u-joints on a $150 driveshaft you might as well just buy a new one. And LPE's driveshaft is $267 shipped.

I'm not revving the car to 7k, and my current stock lifters have served me to well over 200 passes down the track at 6,200 rpm. So I think the ones I ordered will do just fine, as I don't plan on revving any higher than 6,200 with the Hotcam either.
