If you hook up, you will preztel the stock driveshaft on 500rwhp... maybe it won't happen the first time, but it will eventually happen. The stock driveshaft wasn't designed to absorb the stress of hard launches and spinning above-stock rpms.
You can pick up a good quality high hp driveshaft for $300-$400... I'd do it since you've invested so much in the car already.

I'm launching at lower rpms with the Two Step, so I may buy me some time...

The car is not near stock, so I wouldn't use a *stock* DS.

I know this thread is kind of old but instead of starting a new one, would anyone know if my stock aluminum driveshaft will hold up to the mods in my sig..(bolt ons, 233/.595 cam, moser 12 bolt with 4.10s)? and what driveshaft would you recommend for a 450rwhp (not on spray) that would see the track about 3 times a year at a launch of about 4000 rpm?

I'd upgrade to the Billingsley, or the Lingenfelter, or the Denny's. I have the Denny's driveshaft on similar mods to what you have... I'd rather be safe than sorry.

I bought mine used from a local guy... you should check with Billingsley Racing about their chrome moly driveshaft, as I believe they're having a sale on driveshafts right now... they're a sponsor, so look for the link over there ---------->
As for the Denny's driveshaft, you can find it at dennysdriveshaft.com
Hope that helps...

thank you. i'm thinking about it and i might just go with the dennys nitrous ready seeing it is under warrenty for life so if it breaks or anything, they fix it... and i can get a good price on it but if that goes through then i'll probably god with that...
