Default Aluminum/carbon fiber driveshaft gains?

So this is just a 'spins' up to the power band faster mod? or does it actually improve your times enough to make it worth doing?

I could go and replace your steel driveshaft while you were sleeping with an aluminum one and you wouldnt know the difference
