When does the stock driveshaft become an issue?
 
Just curious what it's holding up to? Just thinking outloud about future mods. I'd hate for that 2-pc behemoth to come loose! LOL!

They say it takes 25-30 pounds off it.

No kidding. I bet that stock piece could do some serious damage if it came apart.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows what power levels, or 60' times, etc. that might result in one breaking a u-joint or something.

any power adders i would say for sure, also if your car goes over 150. You could just get a driveshaft loop for the time being.

Driveshaft loops and 1 pc alum driveshaft on mine. If you've ever had 1 let loose, or broken a u joint, you'd have the same on yours right now.

There's a certain kona blue that had an F1A that broke the stock driveshaft at the starting line. Not sure what 60 ft. times that was but I'm sure that was in the 700+ whp range. I might still have the video, standby...
