Are you running an aluminum driveshaft?
 

Just curious how many have you went out and did this mod?

I own a Fox and finally did the drive shaft just a few years ago, rotating mass go away!

The fox body ones are cheap through ebay.

Not my best mod, but a nice one to have :)

I had it done when I put the 4.10'S in. I figured another $300 bucks was worth it then its done.

Not much of an improvement, but looks better than the regular driveshaft.

i heard it was supposed to put less stress on the driveline...:dunno

I'm running a Shaftmasters 4" aluminum 'shaft on my S197...10 lbs lighter than the stock boat anchor!

Best money ive spent bye bye rotating mass :)

yup , i gots 1. its all purdy and shinny. lol. less rotating mass for the win. :wiggle:

yuppers... I agree^

I've picked up one last year... best move I could have made

+1 Had one for years. Rotating weight baby, less is better

Unless you have a vibration with the stocker, not worth the $$$ for the gains IMO. So no I dont have one. LOL

I have a Ford racing one.Not the top mod on my list,but you do feel the engine rev quicker/free'r.

is a fox body shaft the same length as a 95 GT?

What are the benefits in HP for running an aluminum driveshaft?

No HP gains to the engine, just easier to get the HP to the ground, not sure if it results in more wheel horse or not?

Yes 79-95 will work

No HP gains to the engine, just free's up rotating mass. And like other's have said just easier to more HP and TQ to the ground.


I would think your numbers would increase.... but could be wrong.
This is were MattD should chime in :tup

it takes less power to turn so in turn you have more power at your foot put on a dyno you get peak power about 100rpm earlier on stock engine run chome-moly even better for planting power less flex heavy but worth the weight in gold, twisted my aluminum was not happy u-joints did not break damn buying good parts bit me in the ass.

I put one in my fox ( thanks LX351 ) and it cleaned up alot of the shake i had . Still searching for the rest of it lol.

Matter of fact,they work right up to mid '01 with the t45 trans for sure,a buddy of mine was in a pinch with his driveshaft in his '97 GT,and we put a '89 driveshaft in it.They were the same length.:tup

lol are you serious? that's sweet. i'm guessing that a 96-04 V6 would be the same too than :)

Gathered up 2/10 on my 1/4 ET

More important (to me) than E.T. improvement, I lost a lot of driveline vibration at highway speeds when I switched to an aluminum shaft on my s197.

There is nothing more important than ET, shame on you :)

I got one just waiting for the nice weather to install it. So i hope yous are right! My main issue is vibration.

Yes. Installed one on my 2011 mustang gt. Very happy with the results
