Yes. Driveshaftshop does. Here is the link

It says it is good for 600 HP and the price is not so bad considering it comes with new custom hubs.

I have used stock axles for over 400 WHP and slicks and no problems so far on a variety of setups. If going for a built motor and such I would definitely consider upgrading.
