denny will not do it because of rpms. not from power. truck turns 7000 plus and we all think that the ujoint gave up before the shaft broke. any way the damage was terrible, poor allen from futral was burned from gas parts were projected though floor console and fuel lines witch burned truck and dyno. By far the worst dyno incident that could happen over 6500 in damge from interior to paint all ruined and truck has full aftermarket dash he made.

Driveshaft specialist built mine too. It was right at 550 for a 4" aluminium and it has turned in excess of 7000 rpms. I had told him I might even be spinning it up to 8K and he said it would be good for it.
