I don't know. I use it in my stroker with no problems, I went to the track with it last year. But, street tires were used, so I spun pretty good as I didn't want to grenade my stock rear!

Run one until you break it and you will have your answer. No drive shaft can be predicted to fail at a certain point.

Driveshafts fail due to a combination of sticky tires, traction and "shocking" the drivetrain (side stepping the clutch at 5K rpms).

Re: Stock LS1 Driveshaft

There's no definative answer. Kinda like asking when the 10-bolt rear will break. Some guys get into the 10s with it, my buddy blew 2 of em in his SS bone stock. Looks like you've done a lot power adding, why not just drop a few hundred more bills and get a ds and be done with it?

Just broke my driveshaft tonight. I only run high 13's, but a 5k+ clutch dump on slicks pissed it off.
