Default How strong are carbonfiber/chromoly driveshafts?

I will be putting around 500rwhp thru a 9" on an M6 car and wanted to know if either one of those driveshafts were strong enough to support that kind of power. I go to the track maybe 4-5 times a year for a total of about 25-30 runs per year, other than that its a DD. thanks!

Either of those should be more than enough for 500rwhp. There are even aluminum ones that can take that type of power. I have a chrome-molly in mine, but its a bit heavy. I should of went with an aftermarket aluminum.
