Aluminum Driveshaft?

ArmyChargedGT · March 20th, 2008, 06:55 PM

Wondering if i would feel anymore power to the ground with an aluminum driveshaft?

2000stangGT · March 20th, 2008, 07:00 PM

do a search. youll find everything you need to know

you might feel a little

330CubeGt · March 20th, 2008, 07:01 PM

Probably, i heard of 05+ gaining 16hp to the wheels.

I dont see why not ,its less weight you have to turn there for it should free up a few pony's

ArmyChargedGT · March 20th, 2008, 07:05 PM

ya i did search it and all i see is b/s review like.. "easy bolt on" "great upgrade" "nice response" blah blah.

JStang14 · March 20th, 2008, 07:07 PM

from what others on here have experienced seems like around 8-10wrhp

Iwannagofast · March 20th, 2008, 07:14 PM

i dont see how it cud throw off your speedo

ArmyChargedGT · March 20th, 2008, 07:16 PM

ehh. didn't know if it threw it off or not..

MATT02GT · March 20th, 2008, 07:20 PM

I didnt really feel any faster, just a lil smoother feeling ride

futureMACH1racer · March 20th, 2008, 07:33 PM

There is no gain in power from an aluminum driveshaft. It has been proven. It may free up some power and make the car more efficient, but that is it. Ask Doc if you don't believe me.

futureMACH1racer · March 20th, 2008, 07:35 PM

It should quickly spin hard, due to less mass and inertia. It's physics my friends.

zinc02GT · March 20th, 2008, 07:38 PM

Just my opnion on this...

I think an aluminum driveshaft is great. I dont see it adding power, but making it less stressful on the drivetrain. I think going to an aluminum driveshaft is great, dont get me wrong, but I only see it giving 5 hp tops if that. I would buy one mainly for the sake that it puts less stress on the drivetrain

luis · March 20th, 2008, 07:49 PM

would it be more durable?

mustangmanic · March 20th, 2008, 07:50 PM

Hell yeah you'll feel it!

W/O my DS i'd only be at about 258-260rwhp

ArmyChargedGT · March 20th, 2008, 07:53 PM

So overall.. think it's worth spending 3 bills on?

HMUSN · March 20th, 2008, 07:54 PM

^ Yes

ArmyChargedGT · March 20th, 2008, 07:56 PM

stangmods u think? where about should i order one.. i may as well do it now. be cheaper on the net than a parts house right?

futureMACH1racer · March 20th, 2008, 07:58 PM

I have one, and I wouldn't have bought it unless it was worth it. I only paid $230.00 for mine whith S&H form AM use your discount

ArmyChargedGT · March 20th, 2008, 07:59 PM
