HP/ Torque rating of stock alum drive shaft
Hi all. Does anyone know how much abuse a GM aluminum drive shaft can take? I'll have upwards of 380 HP or so this summer so I'm just wondering wheather I need to investigate purchasing a new drive shaft.
Thanks,
Jon

It'll take a lot more than 380 HP of abuse.
