I have a 95 trans am with the factory steel driveshaft and was thinkin about changing to a 98-02 aluminum driveshaft. I ran across one for sale for a good deal and was wondering what improvements I would see 1/8th mile wise?

No noticeable improvement in performance.....WAY less vibration at 75 MPH+.....definitely get one if you have 4.10 gears like me; stock steel driveshaft started vibrating the hell out of my car once gears were put in and cruise speed crept up to 2100 RPM from 1600 before (6spd) @ 70 MPH.

This is the exact reason why I did not go with the ls1 aluminum drive shaft. The risk far out ways any benefits; my steel drive shaft is smooth.
