Default Any light driveshafts out there ?

What are you guys running ? I still have the heavy steel stocker, balanced with good joints. I would like to try a lightweight one to see if I pick up any power from less rotating mass weight. Anyone ?

thanks guys (someone always comes thru with good info)

You could order a custom aluminum one, but I dont see the cost being worth it honestly. Im also unsure of the realistic weight savings of one over the stocker. I think I would love for ET elsewhere.

Do you mind saying how much $$ and do you know the weight savings over stock ?

I have a 3700 rpm converter and its not too bad. Its a Circle D 245mm multi disk. Its a little loose and the gas mileage isn't the best. But its fun as hell lol.

I have a tight 3400 so it drives pretty normal till you hammer it. I have been thinking about going to a little more stall, but I mostly street drive.
