Default drive shaft limits?
What have people been able to push through their stock drive shaft? This ? is for LTx's and LSx's.

No. Some are Aluminum and others Steel. Just buy a good one and put the worries behind you.

Launching on the 2 step at 6000 on slicks and 4.30 hears, no breakage yet, but i am probably just lucky. This is a LT1 DS.

If I recall all LT-1 cars got the Steel. I sold my LS-1 Aluminum to an LT-1 owner.

Some LS and LT1 have aluminum, LS1 and LT1 steel DS are probably near identical, i know the LT1 has the vibration damper.
