I have a 2 piece shaft that has seen 130+ mph on a reg basis. The single shafts are the ones with the problems.

IF its the ALUM DS then be careful.
ill have to sit down and figure up the DS Rpm vs MPH.. but i know the stock 2 peice steel is good up to 160mph
which = 6700rpm DS speed

At 70 b4 Rpms were just a sorry 1800 and couldn't hold over drive for nothing on the smallest hill, now the Rpms are at 2200 and can hold over drive like no other.

Im interested in what mileage is doing too, I have wide *** 33s on my truck with 3:73 and was told to do 4:30s so highway mileage wouldn't suffer as much either.
