im not gonna argue with you so whatever u say. i've seen it happen. unless u have an upgraded drivshaft it will fail
Anything will fail, I get that, for christ sake you can get a tire blow out at 70mph. Does that mean dont do 70mph or near it?? But yea, precautions is key here. Luckly my truck has a 1 peice drive shaft with a balancer on it not the 2 piece. I really dont see any need to buy a aftermarket 1 piece or strengthen shafts, unless run those speeds for a very extensive time. Or if you have 4.30s or lower, with big diameter tires. I can see problems there.

question, so doing 150 will make driveshaft fail, or the tune will?

Its many options to get a strengthen shaft. Its more safe than sorry sorta deal. Drag, strip cars etc, its optional to put a drive shaft cage that will catch the shaft if it fails. Sorta like putting roll bars in a vehicle for extra precautions in case of a roll over. The tune will never fail its electronic. Tune will fail when your pcm dies. Certain precautions we do with anything. A engine that spins to 8000 rpm would need to be weighted and balance before testing it at those rpms.

If you want to go those speeds, I would say higher gears 3.42 or numerically lower number. That way you can travel that speed while spining less rpms, which equals less driveshaft rotations. Its a reason Crown Victoria are dogs from stoplights. Ever see a cop u-turn and you hear it ROAR cause he is flooring the engine? Its because its geared for highspeed chases 80-130 pluss they shine and can drive that speed all day long. Its geared for stuff like that. But would take away a little from off the start acceleration.
