Sorry i couldnt resist, but seriously aluminum will be lighter, steel stronger... Really depends on length, cant really see a driveshaft adding to drivetrain loss, unless its so damn heavy it takes away fron the tq to turn it.... Or for that matter its flexing under load, which will cause it to break eventually anyway!!!

What are your thoughts on steel vs aluminum for these trucks for the rear shaft? Took a quick measurement to see what ballpark it'll be in. Looks like it'll be around 66-67" long center to center of u joints. The stock one doesn't fit it is too long. Thanks guys!

I hope they warranty that driveshaft for your desired RPM and Torque output. Good quality ones from the Driveshaft shop that we use start a $1,000.00 for aluminum with those specs, carbon fiber more which is understood. There are different grades of Aluminum and Steel so keep that in mind for what you purchase.

Here's a little bit of info on the CAM798 yoke. That is the 1350 variety specifically.
Can someone post a pic of the PST FORGED slip yoke - LS1TECH
