Does eliminating all wheel hop = no more broken stock half shafts

[NGOT8R]

How many S550 GT owners can actually say that eliminating all wheel hop has resulted in no more broken stock half shafts with aggressive launches, when running either stock or sticky tires, such as an ET Street?

Here’s another interesting read that might help provide some more insight as to how to get the most out of an IRS suspension.

If your power levels exceed their capability, they'll still break with 0 wheel hop... your solution is a stronger application. I recommend these, the only ones with a lifetime warranty:

I’ve had my eye on those. I’m sure I will end up with a set at some point, although it would be nice to see how much abuse the stock half shafts can endure when coupled with the stop the hop kit, black differential bushings (with through bolt kit), bushing support kit, differential brace, billet vertical links and spherical bearing.

I‘m hoping there are some manufacturers of suspension components like Steeda or BMR, who have tested similar combinations and what their results are? Has either company conducted a bench test to determine the exact point of failure of the stock half shaft (both right and left side shafts), such as a twist test similar to this:
