Default Re: Steel vs Aluminum driveshaft

Setting aside any performance gain, I think aluminum drive shafts increase the life of the ring and pinion, axles, etc., by absorbing some of the shock load on launch. Any experiences to that effect? BTW - I even heard Warren Johnson make a statement to that effect, for whatever that's worth. I'm just a hack, but I thought I would bring up the subject. Thanks.
