Default Stock driveshaft rating

I just bought a '98 Trans Am last week. Has all the goodies....Stage 2 heads...G5 cam (nice lope)...etc etc. The previous owner says the output is 403 rwhp w/o juice and who knows w/ 150 shot nitrous....possibly 500 rwhp. Anyway, my question is...can the stock aluminum driveshaft take a hard launch at the strip (using slicks) with this kind of horsepower?? If not, what driveshaft should I use?

Transmission is a T56 and the diff is a KTRE 12-bolt w/ 3.73 gears. I'm not worried too much about the differential....
