What driveshaff to use with TII trans

I think my original statement about the FC auto yolk will be fine. I did not use the Rockford u-joint. All I did was grind off the stakes on the S3 yolk. Removed the S3 yolk. Replaced the S3 yolk with the FC auto yolk. Put driveshaft in a lathe. Centered the runout and put two tack welds at each u-joint cap. I have had my car upwards of 145 mph (don't really no how fast, the 130 speedo was about an inch past) WITHOUT any vibration. If I finally get over the 500hp mark, and I break a driveshaft, then I might get one made.
Why make things so costly and overcomplicated when there are simpler and more cost effective ways

Well, all my car does is race. It doesn't get any lazy street time. The gas is either on or off and rarely anywhere in between.
Don't know about 400hp but my car gets GPS'd on the track at well over 140mph.
Not vibrationless by any means but I think it has more to do with the tires/spacers than anything.
That being said, these cars should not do any more than 100mph. They tend to want to drift even with decent aero package.

I spoke with Dave(owner at mazdatrix) today. I found out that because I have the aftermarket driveshaft from mazdatrix I can't use a OEM auto fc yolk. It would work fine if I had an OEM driveshaft, but I don't.
They're aftermarket driveshaft is different. It has different u joints which are more common(from chryslers). He had just what I needed for the aftermarket driveshaft. A custom yolk made to fit it and a t2 output shaft.
I'm with bad83 on this one. He's making plenty of power and like he said he hasn't had any problems.

S4 13bt engine with supporting mods for ~250whp
S4 13bt transmission
S4 13bt slip yoke
Custom 2.5" steel driveshaft
S3 rear flange
S3 rear differential (open currently, will be welded soon)
Wasn't in the realm of cheap but it comes with a 12mo warranty and greasable and rebuildable u-joints. Said to hold around the 500whp mark.
Got it from Proven Force here in Maple Grove, Minnesota. Was a very short turn around time and they were awesome guys to deal with - highly recommended.
