So yes, and becareful, 450 wtq is the shaft breaking point.

I broke mine tonight at the track perhaps mostly due to wheel hop
Sorry to hear this. Drag racing is really costly, unfortunately.

I found out that if I lower the tire pressure to 1.4 bar, I have no wheelhop whatsoever, and the traction is great. But I do have M3 subframe bushings installed.

EDIT: You said driveshaft, not half-shafts ? Can you post some pics ? What exactly broke ?
