Default drivetrain+drag radials= ?

My 355 should be making about 400bhp now, and when I take it to the track im probably going to tuck some et streets underneath. I was wondering if I will be ok with my stock u-joints, halfshafts,etc. If it will hold up on that how about with a 150 shot. I have a 75 w/ th400 automatic. Thanks in advance.




P.S. sorry if I should have posted this elsewhere.

I used the stock driveline and it held up fine at the strip w/MT drag radials........1.63 sec. 60' time with TH400 and 2900 stall, high 11's ET. You should have no problem. An automatic cushions the launch unlike a manual's "full shock". You plan on giving that 150 shot on launch???
