I'd say they're pretty much equal. I have both. I put the DS in first, drove it for about a week and really noticed a difference. I had the gears done a week later and really noticed the difference again.

I am doing a driveshaft this week. I will post back my opinion when it is completed.

I didn't change the gears because my car came with the 3.55s.

Gears, stay away from the motives though.

But if you do gears and a driveshaft, how is the vibration? My old stang vibrated at high speeds.

I would like to still be able to do 150 without any vibration. Is this possible?

does the aftermarket 1-piece driveshaft have less clunking noise when shifting with not perfectly matched rpms's?

It should just by the design difference of the two. I will post back when I get my driveshaft installed and let you know.

I really hope this isnt a serious question. You shouldnt be doing 150 at all for any reason other than trying to kill yourself or someone else.
