Swapped the stock 3" driveshaft in my 3880 lb. Chevelle back in '99 for a 3 1/2" MMC driveshaft from Denny's, worth .04 in the 1/4. Put thousands of passes on that driveshaft without issue or failure and it's still in the car today. Ran a best of 1.28 60 foot with it and well into the 9's.
Further, my 3144 lb. MPR Firebird has a 4" aluminum driveshaft and has been 1,17 60 foot and well into the 8's also without issue or failure.
