LT1 Aluminum drive shaft Im pretty sure they are the same but will a stock aluminum drive shaft from an LS1 fit an LT1? Do they have the same amount of splines?

yes, it's less rotational mass which means that less power is lost, or more of the power that the engine makes at the flywheel is actually tranferred all the way to the rear wheels.

he meant that all the years are interchangable, which they are. not all LS1 cars had aluminum either. The 2.73 rear gear option cars should have steel just like the LT1 cars. The 1LE LT1 cars i THINK came with aluminum driveshafts also, but i'm not gonna say that as fact.
edit- they also had the warranty deal if you had vibration problems with your LT1 driveshaft that they would replace it with an aluminum one.

Steel is stronger than aluminum, just heavier.
1LE LT1 cars had a 2.5" aluminum ds, while LS1 aluminum ds is 3".
Those back to back dyno numbers seem accurate.
