Driveshaft or Axles first?

Hey All,

I am wanting to start beefing up my driveline and wanted your thoughts on which I should go with first. I am currently sitting at 453whp and run a 100-150 shot of nitrous occasionally when at the track. I also have a rear drag pack with MT ETR's. Not sure sure which would be the smartest to go with first. I might not really need these as of yet but I want to make sure I am good for future mods and in case I try to launch with any RPM at the track. Any help/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

That's the way I was leaning but wanted to get opinions from more qualified people like yourself lol. Thanks for your input.

Any recommendations without spending $1600? It doesn't look like G force is making them anymore and QA1's are really pricey. But if that's the smartest way to go then I'll bite the bullet.

Wow, didn’t realize GForce stopped offering the DS. That makes me a little nervous...

Looks like DSS still offers them:

I was on their site the other day and they didn't have them on there at all for our cars. Only the axles. It looks like either DSS or QA1 are the best options.
