what 1/4 mile time increase can you expect from a single piece aluminum driveshaft? a friend of mine said some of his friends are going .4 seconds faster in the quarter just by switching to the aluminum driveshaft that dss makes. If that's true I'm buying one this month!

bs or truth??? anyone?

MaverickMLFD371 · September 8th, 2007, 03:28 AM

he is right. about .4 off your 1/4 time with a 1 piece.

recommend the Spydershaft! best selling d/s on the market with no reported problems!

Bhblondguy · September 8th, 2007, 03:34 AM

man that's rediculous, with a good dyno tune I could be in the 12s...I'm getting it SOON!!!

and some 4.10s for that matter. flippin went to the track and have to shift to 4th gear every time right at THE END of the 1/4 traps

I'm doing 13.6 / 13.7 on runs @ 104.84 and NO TRACTION sucks I need some drag radials or something, have to launch at 2500 to get traction

I installed 4.10's and aluminum driveshaft before my turbo and the car felt Great with those 2 modifications.

If you do the typical bolt ons alongwith the driveshaft and 4.10's you could be seeing 11's on some sticky track tires!

A turbo and 4:10's? I thought that was a no-no.

Regency 2007 · September 8th, 2007, 04:09 PM

A turbo and 4.10's is a yes, yes....

It blows out of the hole and pulls likes a train even in 5th gear, too many people fear the gear!

06RedfireGT · September 8th, 2007, 06:45 PM

4.10s make up for the lag.

+1... the Turbo doesn't really pick up till like 2500RPM, so 4.10 will help greatly for the launch till the Turbo kicks in.

so 4:10's with turbo's and centrifugal chargers, and 3:73's with twin screws?

Modern_Muscle · September 23rd, 2007, 06:03 PM

ok, so i have a aluminum flywheel, new centerforce dual friciton clutch, and if I got a new driveshaft, would that be a pretty good combo? lol...hehehe

First dont do the dss it has problems.
It will reduce you time maybe .200 at best.....

I think 4.10's go with all baseline chargers. If you aren't going over 500ish hp, than 4.10's will produce smiles all their own, and they'll help you stay in the charger's prime rpms better.

How hard are these aluminum driveshafts to install? Are they a direct bolt-on replacement or do other things have to be swapped out as well? Thanks

06RedfireGT · September 24th, 2007, 09:43 PM

I would think they are pretty easy to install.

menace07 · September 25th, 2007, 02:03 AM

Piece of cake to install. Could do it no problem on jackstands in your driveway

Bhblondguy · September 25th, 2007, 05:25 AM
