At stock HP probably not, but there is no point in designing parts for stock HP limitations. When we worked with PST on producing this shaft, we made sure that it can withstand hitting redline in 6th gear+ some.

Also keep in mind aluminum shafts need to be larger in size to withstand the required sheer stress. The BRZ has a narrow tunnel, so how excited would you be to take a sledge hammer to your brand new car to widen the tunnel to ensure you have 2-3" of clearance between the shaft and the chassis to allow for the shaft to twist and vibrate
