Its a good mod, but make sure you get a drive shaft loop to go with it, you know just incase your horsepower overpowers the Alum DS.....

I'm sure one of the 10second v6s could do it. If Jay launched his turbo monster hard enough he could probably do it. Trans brake and 5k rpm !

a driveshaft safety loop costs about $75-$100 why woldnt you get it if it could make the diff between life or death if your shaft drops while going fast? does FRPP really even make an aluminum ds for the sixer anyways?
