The torque tube is nothing more than a shield around the drive shaft. As far as high horsepower, I am still using my stock drive shaft and couplers. Probably borrowed time, but still working. Now as far as beefing it up, you can buy better couplers, a carbon fiber driveshaft, or if you want one of the best, contact ECS. They convert the driveshaft into a typical u-joint system.
