Default Single piece vs two piece driveshaft

As far as strength is concerned they are both good.

Default single piece prop

Mostly just the smoother engine vibration through the low to mid range rpm

I have been lookng into this mod, and on some other forums some guys say they have had some issues with breaking transmission mounts when switching fro the 2 piece to a 1 piece. They talked about relocating the torque arm bracket to fix the problem.

Is this only a problem if there is more than stock power (+50-100 hp) and/or a heavy right foot?

any thoughts?

I can't see what difference the driveshaft would make. It's the lifting force of the torque arm that wants to tear at the mount.
The Z28 only had a one piece shaft, and it's gonna eat a mount easier than the V6 will.
