Well it's been awhile since I have updated yall on my project because I got my feelings hurt on the Dyno and not because it didn't make the power we wanted. Lol. Our local driveshaft shop, which knew I was building a heavy truck with 1000+rwhp, built me a shaft with 1350 u joints and it did have a spicer slip yoke but after a u joint broke on the Dyno at 130mph the results were catastrophic. After the fact, the shop used a cheap *** Chinese joint. We were only on 9-10lbs on pump gas and it did 704rwhp on a safe tune up which was impressive to me but once the driveshaft beat the **** out of the safety loop and a few other bars and the bell housing broke in half and the block of the LS2 block got the back ripped off along with the starter. My new cast iron block will be out of the machine shop anytime and my transmission guy will have my new case swapped soon also and get this thing back on the road. We were fixing to crank the boost up on race fuel and hopefully hit my 1000rwhp goal until that happened. Haha. Here are some pics of the carnage.

It's amazing what a driveshaft will do when It breaks on my friend coming back from the shop from getting the driveshaft loop installed and floored it around 60 and as soon as it hit 100 kaboom look similar to urs loop was gone.
