If the car is consistent you should see atleast 7 hundreths to as much as tenth.

When losing driveline weight, pounds are equal to 20/30 lbs carrying weight....

You should see gains in the 1/4 and mpg..

Doubtful. I would suspect the difference from day to day runnings at the track you could actually lose time and think the aluminum driveshaft is slowing you down, which it wouldn't be.
