Default Driveshaft Question!!!

I will have a moser 9" going into my 98 Z28 M6. The car is making an estimated 330-350 rwhp. The axle is set up with a 4.10 on a full spool, 35 spline gundrilled axles, and will be run on a MT ET Drag that is 10.5". My question is even with the 1350 series U joints will the stock aluminum driveshaft be able to handle this? I plan on doing more to the engine in the future also, and would like to know a good avg hp # to start thinking of doing a driveshaft upgrade so that I can keep my car on the road. Especially since this is my daily driver.

Thanks,
Chris

Dennys driveshafts makes custom driveshafts that have a lifetime warranty. As far as running a stock driveshaft with sticky tires, it just depends on how crazy you get on the launch and if you have a m6. Auto cars can last a long time before any issues.

ive been running stock DS for quite a long time, my DS probably has 300 6000 RPM dumps on ET streets 1.6x-1.7x 60fts M6 car with a 12 bolt and spec 3 clutch......you guys must have a small ding or dent of some sorty of gash or small cut in yours to be breaking them like this on the street with nittos and whatnot, give it a shot people have cut some serious 60fts on the stock DS in M6 cars and some have broken on the street

I think I might pick up the nitrous ready from denny's just to be safe, and use the stocker for an emergency only kind of thing.
