Default drive shaft completly broken, like a toothpic

well with my new setup done on my b16a1 crx, i decided to go out and gtec pro it and see approx what #'s id be pulling, so i can get a rough idea seeing gtec pro is off by a little bit.
1st run with vtec off(shut it off for ***** and giggles) no nitrous, no traction at all in 1st, 2nd and 3rd i managed to pull off a 15.3 @ 96.0 mph
2nd run i launch BAMM!!!!!

my driveshaft on the tranny side snapped like a toothpic, the break is hilarious i'll post pics up tomorrow, anyways i need 2 get a new one...

um funy enough i dunno which shaft i need, is the 91 teg ones fine? i dunno exactly which one i need or if i should go for a stronger one seeing a 60shot with the new setup will most likely snap the new one prob.
any suggestions?

b16 with a 60 shot really shouldn't have enough power to be snapping axles. Its going to be a weakspot in the axle or just wear/tear doing it. Just my .02
