Default Driveshaft in an A4

i have a bolt on,cam, nitrous 2002 T/A. i am using the stock driveshaft and cut high 1.4 and low 1.5 60' times on nitrous. i am doing a few upgrades and am wondering if the driveshaft is strong enough. or do i need to look into getting a new one. i know i am knot shocking the drivetrain near as hard as a M6, so if i need a new one, what should i look into, and what brands?
TIA
david

Is your driveshaft steel or aluminum? Steel will hold up much better. A bunch of sponsors carry aftermarket driveshafts. Denny's and Precisions Driveshaft also makes some very nice custom pieces.
