steel or aluminum driveshaft?

As they say on television, "Your results may vary". All I can say is that a low HP combinations like mine, particularly spinning the driveshaft up to 9200 RPM at the finishline should be the most likely candidate for improvement and I got zip. For what it's worth, this was a back to back test so I'm pretty confident of my results. Funny thing is that if I was going to start over, I would buy the lightweight parts regardless. I know in my mind that it has got to be better even if the performance results don't show. At the very least, the weight reduction results in less unsprung weight and allows more static ballast over the rearend.
