I would assume that you would need to get a tune to get the best out of it right???But would you need one just to "get up and go"???


hahahaha no dude no tune. it doesn't affect that, just takes weight out of the driveline.

definitely go with the spydershaft, check out their website. it seems very impressive and it has an awesome price. also, a friend of mine has one and loves it. this will be the shaft i am getting to replace my broken 2-piece. also, just so you know, the spydershaft is the only one that ive heard of that does not cause vibrations because of the care that went into the design. the owner also said that it is really sturdy, and that he has a guy using it w/ a car that has 500rwhp who's been doing 4000rpm launches on it every weekend and it hasnt broken yet.

PICK SPYDERSHAFT

BMR Carbon Fiber d/s is what I have. It is simply the best on the market. Comes complete, just bolt in.

I've looked at that ds it is nice granted but not necessary unless your planning on 800rwhp and cost a grand. Spyder's is actually a ford ds redone to work on our mustangs and will do what most of usneed for far less money.

BMR doesnt offer the CF ds anymore? I cant find it on their website.

I'm a sucker for highend parts.

Does anyone have a before and after ET for a driveshaft swap?

Is there a seat of the pants difference?

Personally I will look for one that uses an adapter plate to make the install easier. Probably get the same one TACO BILL used. Looks pretty easy.

Thanks,

Spydershaft is the way to go...no one ever really has problems with it and its the cheapest of them all..

Whoever mention 40 lbs wieght difference needs a new scale...the stock weighs about 44-45 and most 1 piece DS weigh 16-22 lbs.....so you cut 20 off maybe
