Once you get close to 400RWHP on street tires or 350RWHP on stickies you need to start getting concerned about the stocker aluminum drive shafts. They will pop.

I sold my 2.75" 1LE aluminum DS and bought a Strange 3" chromeoly to avoid this problem down the road. No chance of this thing going boom.
