i made this for a quick info guide. lol.
Finally...

Do you happen to know the weight of the stock driveshaft? For those of us who don't launch our cars, I wonder if it would be possible to have an aluminum shaft made for even more weight loss?

Pending David's evaluation this looks like the real deal.

One Question...

Can you make one for the EVO X?

If so, PLEASE PM ME!

I am willing to send you my stock driveshaft in advance.


Thanks,

Chris

EVO8LTW there is already a aluminum one floating around for double the price of this one. IF that is worth it to you then go for it, for the others looking not to break the bank this one seems legit.

yep and according to a few guys thats a bad thing. so the weight savings might not do jack. and if its thicker it might actually hurt for what we are looking for.

If this was already covered, sorry. What kind of decrease in ET could come from this in a mid 11 second car? Would a couple tenths be possible?

hum a couple who knows. but im also sure the more power you make the more difference you will see.... just my thoughts. so if your a 400hp car maybe a 1.5 quicker E.T. if your the 700hp maybe a 2.5 E.T. but i have no clue man. just my thoughts. could be more could be less.
