ghost,
i'd go with an aluminum driveshaft first. it's about the same price and it will definitely free up 15-20 hp and the same in torque. my auto gt picked up 2 tenths 1/4 mile and you can absolutley feel the difference as soon as you hit the throttle. it is a very easy mod to do also.
total price for shaft and companion flange is about $275+labor to balance and shorten. also loses 25+lbs of rotating mass!!

So where do you get an aluminum driveshaft and flange for $275?

ebay stores Bryant Racing(have to type like this or it won't come up). the d/shaft is for a 2003-up ranger. companion flange is for 03-04 cobra. you will need to have a driveline company shorten the shaft 9" exactly. then it's a bolt in deal. the same shaft from others is selling for $700!! mine weighs 16.5 lbs.(stock is 43lbs.) and has no vibration or noise issues. my dad used to work for ford so i've learned from him that ford shares a lot of parts between the ranger and the mustang. they always have done this and now is no different. the ranger has the same trans and rear set-up as the 05-06 mustangs only the wheelbase is longer. here's a pic of mine installed looks completely factory. d/shaft costs about $230 companion flange is $40!! shaft comes complete with ujoints and cradles installed. i have proven that is is worth 2tenths 1/4 mile. which translates to approx 20+rwhp.

RE: delete plates
Spyder do you have the numbers for that shaft and flange? I found a shaft but no flange on Bryant Motorports but could not find Bryant Racing on ebay. I need to make sure that I have the correct one.
