It would depend on how each is made, the shorter tube will have a higher yield than a longer one but normally longer tubes are larger diameter. A 3" chromoly tube has a max yield of 4957 compared to a 3-1/2 aluminum shaft at 3464. Being the engine/trans would
have a hard time reaching either its a draw in my opinion. Lingenfelters car although runs our axles still has the factory shaft, the Guibo
joints (funny name but its what the proper name is for them) are very forgiving and shows how much shock they take out of the drive train before the pinion
