I believe that a little bit of the rating depends on the length. If its a really long driveshaft and needed for big HP they will probably recommend a 4" one. We have been a dealer for them for a few years and we go off of their specific recommendations and have yet to have a problem so far.

Rating is based of length and rpm. I run a 4" from PST. I have never had a problem with it.

You guys have any vibration issues with the alum driveshafts? I know some mustangs do, but I believe a re-balance and everything was always good after that.

Mine has been great. No vibrations at all and the welds still look good on the driveshaft after alot of passes. There has been no signs of the welds cracking like you will see on some alum. driveshafts.
