Thats odd because the first thing Mark normally asks is "what is your chassis weight with Driver" before he will recommend a certain DS for anyone.
When I bought my Carbon Fiber Driveshaft, he offered a 3" and 4" shaft. He offered me a lifetime warranty on the 3" but because my car was 3,700 w/driver, he said he would feel more comfortable if I bought the 4" shaft. I bought the 4" CF shaft and would leave the line at 6k RPM w/ a 200shot added instantly off the drop of the clutch. That shaft never blinked. I sent it back to him to have the U-joints changed at the end of every race season and inspected as a preventive measure. He never charged me for anything but the shipping back to me. Best customer service I've ever seen from any DS shop.
I had a Denny's 3.5" HD Aluminum Driveshaft and even Denny told me that Aluminum shafts are not truly meant for Drag Racing especially with a chassis over 3,200lbs. and that I was on borrowed time and he would not be responsible for what it did to my car "when" it exploded, not "if".
Bought a Strange 3" Seamless chromoly shaft but it was so damn heavy, I immediately sold it and ended up with the PST 4" CF shaft.
