Been 152mph in my burb... still pulling when I let off. Blew up the driveshaft when I let off. I drive the piss out of mine. 100+ pretty often (easy to do on these Texas roads)

But if you have a 2wd with a 1 piece driveshaft be very cautious when you get in the 115+ area. Driveshaft wobble gets really noticeable.

Full bolt on. I just put in a stock replacement so I could get it running again. But I have a "built" driveshaft waiting, almost double the thickness of aluminum with forged yokes also high speed balanced.

Abuse it for the first 25K miles while it's under warranty, then back off and drive normal. If it's going to break it will beak under warranty. I've done that for my last 4 new vehicle and they've all gone over 150K trouble free.
