Default worth it? $$

is an aluminum drive shaft worth the money, and how much does a good one run? I think I saw one for $250 somewhere, but I may be wrong...

the way it drives? do you mean that it would accellerate better/maybe drive smoother?

I know if you reduce the rotational weight (with a lighter material) you can free up some horsepower that gets lost from the flywheel to the tires...

If that is one of your few mods, not worth it. You won't feel any torque increase replacing the driveshaft. You would be better off saving for a power adder ie h/c/i etc.
