Suitable filament for printing a high torque shaft coupling

Due to some obscenely long lead times provided by my hydraulic equipment vendor, I'm doing some research on what printer/filament combination would be necessary to print a replacement spider coupling for a hydraulic pump/motor combination. The math says that the coupling would have to withstand 900 ft-lb of torque. There is a 20 hp motor on one side of the coupling and a rotary vane pump on the other. The coupling would have a 1" ID and use set screws to tighten the coupling halves to the shafts. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
