Its like when you were a kid and you get a new pair of sneakers and you swear that you can jump higher run faster... Like they said there is a performance to be had but its minimal.. __________________ Rotating The Earth 1320 Feet At A Time!!

The U-joints are stronger and there is less rotating mass that is less strain on your drivetrain.. if you have hardly and mods or mild mods dont bother but if your car is makin 300+ hp get it... __________________ Rotating The Earth 1320 Feet At A Time!!

It is also about 5lbs less rotating weight. Every little bit helps. __________________ Racing in memory of Dave Bandt 11/19/69 - 3/23/08 "he's traded his wheels for wings" Professor of Natural Aspiration Thanks to: Artie at Trick Flow, Dave at Team Z Motorsports, Brian at Total Engine Airflow and Harold at Furo Racecraft

Less rotating mass+ the advantage of harmonics, which is something few notice but the difference is there, for the same reason people have the stock D/S's balanced. Plus you get the ability for the shaft to flex to a small degree with the flex of the vehicle which is something you do not get from steel quite as well. My $.02 on the dead horse.
