Just have a local driveline shop build you a 3.5 inch steel driveshaft with a 1350 yoke and spicer u joints. I had one in my car and it held with 7K RPM launches on slicks. I sold it about two years ago along with the 12 bolt and the guy still has it in his car.
3.5" Steel Driveshaft + 1350 yoke and spicer u joints = Bomb Proof!!

I had a 3.5" aluminum driveshaft in mine built by a local driveline shop and it held to everything I could throw at it. The good part was it weighed only 0.5 lbs heavier than the stock DS.
