My next step is a Edelbrock E-Force supercharger, but no serious track events. I guess I'll have to go with it and it will motivate me to get to the track more often. Thanks guys.

I have the DSS 900+hp rated (I know, more than I'll ever need) and you WILL notice acceleration increase. It's aluminum, tapered to 3.5" for clearance on lowered cars, comes with HD U-joints, and a 1-yr warranty. Bought through Lethal Performance. No problems, no vibe, easy install, and MUCH lighter (18lbs. vs. ~43 lbs.).

Really? I installed the Shaftmasters and notice that I feel slightly LESS vibration than with the stock shaft. And the clunking that the stock shaft had is totally gone.
