So I ordered a new light weight drive shaft for my mustang.

do you think I will feel any difference with this new drive shaft over the older one?

If it is the light Aluminium drive shaft you might feel a slight difference. I did.......

TimmyGt

yeah, it is the ford racing aluminum one.

what does doing this do to ur performance

TimmyGt

here is the write up for what it does.

"By using a lighter weight driveshaft, you reduce its rotational mass while it is turning, freeing up horsepower, which translates to faster speeds and lower ETs. These lightweight aluminum driveshafts are just the ticket. They feature high-strength, .114 in. wall thickness, a 6061-RT62 aluminum seamless tube, and include 1330 high-performance U-joints. They weigh approximately half as much as your OEM steel shaft, but are twice as strong!"

oh so does it really work or is it that u only feel it when u have a full bolt on or f/i car

TimmyGt

well it is more for the loss of power from your crank to the ground. when you use lighter parts it get more of the hp to the wheels then the stock parts.

Less rotating mass weight means you reach rpm faster.
