From what I have heard though it's pretty much worthless for a street/strip car unless you needu-joints and can't do them your self, or you've got avibration after a ring and pinion install. I've read about 10 reviews of the FRPP aluminum driveshaft. Everyone says that it made no difference in performance.

Sorry to jump in but how much horsepower can an aluminum driveshaft hold. Ive heard from people that it really cant support the kind im trying to acheive which is the 500 to 600 range.

The driveshaft makes the engine rev faster not much but enough since less weight is being spun and lost going to the rear wheels.

i was wondering the same thing because i am going to buy heads and cam before the winter is over and i plan on building it alot more after that.
