Should I worry about my driveshaft?
I have 425 hp ZZ383, TH700R4 (raptor level 3) with 2500 stall and soon 31 spline 9 inch with 3.50 and truetrack. The tires are Kumho 275/xx/ZR17.
The car has the stock driveshaft (not aluminum) and driveshaft loop (just in case). Should my driveshaft be ok or should I look for a stronger one?

Re: Should I worry about my driveshaft?
31 spline should be stout enough, but then again it's also 20+ years old...

Yeah, I know the rear wont be a problem, I am just wondering if my driveshaft will be a problem.

I would probably think about replacing it. Cost wise its not to much to upgrade.
