RE: Which is the best driveshaft?
hmm.. i found one article that said a 19lbs 1 piece driveshaft got them .1-.2 off the 1/4.. nothing too big.. anyone have any experience getting a better gain? or getting more HP on a dyno with one?

I've only experienced the stocker and the spydershaft.No vibrations on the spyder up to ~130mph. Igot it dynoed10 days later. 307 RWHP with the mods in my sigon a Brenspeed 87 tune.

RE: Which is the best driveshaft?
hmm are the only power adds you have steeda cai and udp? that should be maximum gain of 35hp if you can combine the hp of the 2.. 25-30 more realistic.. I wonder what you would have dynoed at stock? 265-270? making the driveshaft add anywhere from 7-17?

The best one is the stock one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ive had two after market d/s and they both vibrated and made alot of cabin noise. I would not have another if you gave it to me. Ive had a few people tell me that they had one that didnt have any issues. After riding in their car I new that one issue they had was a hearing issue!!! Ive got all the adjustable control arms and pinion alignment and they still would shake you out of the car at 70mph.

RE: Which is the best driveshaft?
well.. considering I will very rarely be taking it to the track (It's only open for about 5 months out of the year here) I can't decide wether or not its worth the $600.. This would be more street/highway accelaration I'm looking for.. tough choice.. originally I thought it was a no-brainer must do mod.. but now I'm not sure..

I was thinking about installing the Steeda DS, but wanted some feedback also.That is alot of money tocough upfor afew HP gain and then the noise on top of that.Maybe I will stick with the stocker for now.

RE: Which is the best driveshaft?
Just installed my 2nd spydershaft last week. The first one whined until I rotated it, this one whines too. I haven't gotten around to rotating it yet, I'll do it today.
Steeda = spydershaft, only way more expensive
From a performance standpoint I can't compare the spydershaft to other shafts, but from a value standpoint it is far ahead of the competition.

RE: Which is the best driveshaft?
go spyder, I'm running my stocker for now. School is making me take a mod break(withdrawal twitch) but I support spyder. Very few people have reported problems with Spyder and it can handle virtually anything you throw at it
