I love my prodrive stage 1's held up all year and were in lisa kubos car before that.Then they went to stage 2's late last year as far as angela breaking the nitro set up I agree, she is not making as much hp as she say's, my car weigh's more does not have wheelie bars and has higher trap speeds that her car, but I think she was breaking the axles because the way the car was setup, and how they were launching it.But the nitro was suppose to be the end all end all of axle replacement.Mark williams I heard were great morroso dont know who uses them.

both the pro drives and DDS stage 5's give way at about 600+ hsp/400+ ft/lbs of torque, even on only 26" tires. the DDS's lasted longer but still break. i loved the DDS's in my street car. lasted all year @ over 500 hsp and over 300 ft lbs of torque.

the drive shaft shop are sweet too, frank is a real good guy, there bulky though i think hes comeout with a new setup might be lighter then the last. The pro drive are really expensive, the williams ive hear great things about, and the last time i talked to neidimere he was saying the nitro were breaking because of clutch problems not so much an power issue. I saw his nitro, there so nice.

I think a lot of breakage depends on weight of car and how you come out of the hole. I think you can break 500hp at 400hp and you can make 400hp axles work at 600hp depending how you launch. If you 2 step it and the car hooks dead chances are they can break. we have a tilton double disc and clutchmaster double disc on our cars and if you ride the **** out of it out of the hole the dss stage 5 axles should hold up fine. thats my opinion.

Extreme cant be gotten any longer so Mark Williams would be my choice.

Rob Moore axles are the best on the market.I have about 40 passes on my car with his axles not 1 problem.At least half of the runs my sixty foot were between 1.41-1.45.You have to see the nitro kit with your own eyes to see the quality.

hmm lets see, Moroso's,Extreme Fab's,Pro-Drives,Mark Williams,Nitro's and DSS stage 5s...they all suck *****,not because they're bad or anything but because they dont make anything for my D series, well except DSS,i went with their stage 3(highest they have for Ds) so they half suck


ps..please dont say Ds dont make enuff power to justify them,it will only show how little you know..here goes a sample of one D that could use a nice set of DSS stage 5 and such

also check out the sister car in that link,its a cool 4dr sleeper that runs 11.1s
