How strong is my Stock aluminum DS? I have heard about a few people breaking their stock DS, so it made me think about my DS. My car makes 430-440 at the wheels right now and I am about to put a 100 shot of nitrous on it. It is an auto car and I am pulling consistant 1.6 60's. Is the driveshaft something I need to worry about right now?
Thanks

Mine let loose a 1.8 60fts on a bolton m6 car. I say replace it and at minimum run a loop. No one wants to watch your car pole vault going down the track.

I broke my stock ds on the track with 350 rwhp. I am an m6 though. Autos seem easier on a ds than a stick car. I would upgrade to a better shaft if your budget permites. I know exotic performance plus has a nice pst ds for a good price and its 1200 hp rated and I know one of my friends who has 700 rwhp runs that ds so its proven in my eyes.
p.s. here is my stock ds after that break.

I shattered a stock LS1 driveshaft with a 6k clutch drop on et streets one time. It was awesome!
But if you have an A4 and aren't leaving on a transbrake, I think you would be fine.
