Default Steel d/s and dyno ????

OK, so a local speed shop did not want to dyno my 273 geared car since it has a steel d/s. something along the lines of the tailshaft housing on the trans blowing up due to vibration....

....long story short, i bought an aluminum d/s and its on the way.....no problems on the dyno once its installed right ???

anyone ??? opinions or experiences ??

you should be fine with the aluminum. The dyno cracked my tailhousing with a steel driveshaft.
