What is your gearing? I've got a t-56 with a 4.56 rear. 28" tall rear tires. Dyno'd at 590 hp on 87 octane at the flywheel. Haven't had it on a chassis dyno yet (still reassembling the truck).
The Driveshaft Shop (driveshaftshop.com) told me last week, after they suggested it, that a one-piece aluminum driveshaft 69" long at the predicted max rpm (based on 160 mph) would not hold together. They said a carbon fiber probably wouldn't either and I needed a two piece steel. That was mid last week and I still have not heard back from them.
I might call Denny's Driveshaft this week and see what they would put together. The Driveshaft Shop has a good repuation and they are local but i'm not impressed with them right now.
