This information is from Mustang Monthly June 1995 issue. No article on the thing just the advertisement on page 84.

They claim it handles a higher rpm limit than metal shafts before experiencing harmonic whip. (that is why I used the aluminum inner shaft with silicon rtv as a dampner and with injected foam to absorb the harmonics.)

"off the shelf and custom lengths are available to meet a variety of racing and heavy duty needs."

My only warning is that we did the engineering on the driveshaft using a Rockwell computer. It showed catastrophic failure at 700 ft lbs of torque within 20 life hours of use. If you run one of these, it should probably be for a track car, not a quarter miler. Perhaps they will build a fiber aluminum composite for you like I built for myself. Fax them and ask.
