Default NNBS drive shaft options.

So to the people that are actually making power, what are you all doing with the drive shafts on these nnbs. Are you going two piece or just a 5"x.125" aluminum? I need to get one made for my truck. I'm not making any power lol(only 440RWHP) but i want to get a shaft that can handle maybe 700-800WRHP. The two piece seems a bit expensive so i was leaning towards the one piece aluminum.

Installed a 2 piece shaft and built a crossmember for the carrier bearing.
