I crawled under my car today to check out my torque boxes because I just had them completely welded and found an aluminum drive shaft! How cool is that!

Go down to the formulas-
T = I x A
T is torque, I is rotational inertia, and A is angular acceleration.
With a lighter driveshaft, you just decreased your I term (due to smaller mass). This means that the torque used to spin your driveline is less, so more of the torque being made by the engine actually makes it to the pavement! It's very good news.

How did you not know you had an aluminum driveshaft? Did you buy it used...and if you did...didn't you look under the car before buying it?
A statement like this just raises alll sorts of questions.

+1 on not recommending buying one. For the $300 it costs you can reap a lot more benifits. Ide rather spend that toward a nos system.
