Aluminum driveshaft...worth the money?

[deftsound]

Are aluminum driveshafts really even worth the money? I know you save on a little weight but honestly can anyone give me a concrete reason why they are a good modification?

Serious logical opinions only please...

Yes, I would say they are worth it. Not only are you saving weight but you are saving on rotational mass. I noticed a difference as soon as I left Ford. Oh and they only charged $70 to have it installed if you don’t do it yourself.

Don't pay to have that installed, I could proly do that in 15 mins. Not worth it IMO, by the way.

Definately worth it. Reduced weight of the car, reduced mass being pushed by the engine. And once you are as far along in modding as you are, there is really not much out there you can do for so little money to get any kind of noticable gain.

yea i was thinking the same thing....just trying to justify the money spent for little or no gain

If your looking to clear up any driveline vibrations, and you have gears. and you have the money. Yea get the driveshaft. as Far as a SOTP feel there is virtually none.

Like stated above...reducing mass and freeing up power is always worth it..
One of my favourite mods is synthetic fluid swap, - RP - engine, tranny, diff, shifter, alum. driveshaft...did it all at once, man, what a difference...

Maybe consider doing the same?
