I know afew of the advantages, but can you guys that have done it share there thoughts on the swap?

I am thinking about doing it, but don't want to waste my money.

on an M6 they are good for full bolt on power . Once you start getting H/C, strokers settups. Get something better. Mine did'nt last 2 runs down the track

Yeah I know a guy that busted his first time out with his H/C combo. Stock car, DD--good mod. Other than that, you can do better.

A friend with a 93 t/a swapped in a peice, didnt see a gain at the dyno, nor the track but it was better balanced then the stocker. The dyno can very 1-5 hp between runs so that could have been the gain of the DS. It couldnt hurt since the u-joints are newer.

Oh I also did the 1350 yolk conversion on my 7.5. I also broke that. You can get that from Randy's Ring and Pinion.

i swapped the ls1 shaft onto my car, but since i am going 383 should i put my steel shaft back in?

Yeah you're gonna break that. I would buy a Speed Inc steel shaft or a Denny's custom shaft cuz with M6, you're just asking for trouble. I broke a 3.5" Lingenfelter aluminum shaft with an automatic.

what is the average gain from an aluminum driveshaft? 1-3rwhp/5rwtq?

Would it be ok on a full bolt-on car with a 3200 stall and stickies spraying a 150 off the line? Stock H/C.

I was going to do the hot cam and rocker setup with bolt ons. I guess I should stick with the steel one for now. I just found a good deal so I was wondering if it was worth it.

I did the swap, it seemed to weigh alot less. Did I notice a performance difference? Not a fair question in my case as I installed the spohn torque arm the same night. I don't think I ever had that shake with my steel one, so I don't know.

How much is a good deal? I spent $100 for mine off ebay.

I got mine for free. Worth it to me.

(I put a Denny's NR in my 98Z, so I put the 98Z Al shaft in the 94Z)

Would I actually buy one? No, not a stock Al shaft. Money's better spent on something beefier. My Denny's is heavy, but it's one thing I don't worry about breaking with a 6400 RPM launch spraying out of the hole

I can contest, the n2o ready DS is heavy, but with my new LS1, when the Moser goes in, as long as the slip travel is correct I will put that in and just keep the Al ds incase I swap back.

so for my cam valve train work plus bolt ons...just stick with what I got?

75 for the shaft...used

rasputin

iTrader: (3)

thats the kinda situation I was in, 60 bucks for a used LS1 DS....why not? I spend that on drinks every thursday night, mine as well sacrifice a night of fun for a few ponies. as I learned in my aerospace class many moons ago, parasitic drag kills power, its only logical it would add a few horsepower.

but it may break

We dont make what LS1's make, so I doubt it'll break. Unless you're launching.

Yea mines no where neer a LS1s Power

I heard the ls1 shaft was stronger and lighter, the ls1 cars made more power and then GM put a aluminum shaft on vehicles that made more power mod for mod. I don't think its going to just break on you. For $75 you probably can't go wrong.
