JUst get a new drive shaft.

I've been 120 a couple of times, but I can feel a slight vibration over 100. Not fun at all lol

This is what 425 RWHP/430 ft-lbs did to my stock drive shaft. I got a 2007 RCSB with a 6.2, 3.73 gears, and stock 20's. Had to get a custom shaft and I had the new shaft up to 450 RWHP with no problems or vibration.

I went with steel because aluminum would be to big and I plan on adding a magnacharger in a couple of months.
