depending his u-joints. 600 for 1310-1330s and 700 for the 1350s....
gotta pay to play.
my truck isnt 450rwhp but im sure its 420 and ive never had a problem with my stock d-shaft. yet, i dont go to the track all the time and i dont put my truck on the dyno.....so i guess there's no need to worry. at the track i dont lock my converter either so its not putting a strain on the driveline as much as locking the converter. times in the sig....i plan on going faster in due time

my 2010 cc
Ive checked with a few local shops. They tell me that im going to have to have a brace fabbed and go with a two piece driveshaft. My truck has been 130 and havent felt vibration but im not gonna take any chances. Once the cam and stall converter go in. I may be in for a little trouble with the tin can driveshaft. If anyone else knows a diffrent solution any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is the stock thickness of the aluminum driveshaft. I went by a local shop today to discuss having them make me a stronger one as I am adding a whipple supercharger early next week and do not want to have to worry about it. Also What thickness do you recommend?

as far as i know its not the 2pcs that are the problem its just the 1pc. there are like 30 different driveshafts that came in these trucks. it depends on year and body style. my std cab long bed prob has the longest 1pc that came in these things.
