4* shouldn't be too bad, unless the offset is really bad.

even a short driveshaft will cause wierd vibes. Had them in my FC, a few shims and spacers got rid of it in the troubleshooting phase, can't imagine how the shaft got egged but that as well as I'm sure you know will do it as well....

Normally I would say the rear would be the weak link as the TII trans are good for some serious power, but 8.8 so I'm curious to see which explodes first.
FWIW we're creating a stock of TII and REW trans, rebuilt and cryo'ed, ready to abuse/

I think you and MC (2gslse) need to have a chat about the RESpeed kit.... I'm still of the mind that a proper alignment will solve it though, MC

Congrats man! Can't wait to see this monster.... chat it up this year we must
