With a Strange 12 bolt and McLeod Street Twin cluch, can I clutch dump to launch the car or is that going to cause the driveshaft to break?

The ST is impossible to slip....if I keep the dumps to 3000-3500rpm will I avoid driveshaft problems or other things such as twisting the output shaft of the transmission?

I can have a steel driveshaft made locally with upgraded yoke and U joints for $200 that's strong enough the T56 output shaft will twist before the DS breaks. Not worth 2-3 times that for an exotic alum or CF one IMO.

I just got done with building my 9" and am using the stock driveshaft for now. I see yer in Nashville, just up the road, I need a stronger one, where you getting this driveshaft??
