Aluminum driveshaft didn't do crap for me as far as i could tell. As far as the flywheel is concerned, i can think of better things to spend my money on.

yea, but you know the joy of bolt ons...theyre a whole lot cheaper and still give you something, so not **** boltons...anyways...lol honestly though, bolt ons release HP that your motor is capable of so they are needed...

so the argument is flywheel/driveshaft does do something or don't I was always under the impression that they did...any other opinions?

Yea maybe release 20-25whp. You will see alot more gains going with a supercharger or turbo. Used vortech kits usually run around $1500 or so depending on what's included in the kit.

I didnt feel any difference at all with the few bolt on's that I have. Thats why I skipped the rest of them and just went with a Vortech.
