We recently showed you how Lethal Performance upgraded its 2015 Mustang GT project car with a set of rugged halfshafts from The DriveShaft Shop. That was just the first phase in bolstering the car’s drivetrain in preparation for an assault on the quarter-mile.

Awesome, i am debating between the DSS and Shaftmaster driveshaft, any major differences that matter? Also will this BMR safety loop work with the MGW race spec shifter installed?

I can help with that.

I went Shaftmasters. David is a really cool dude. His father and my grandfather go WAY BACK!

I have the mgw racespec shifter, Shaftmasters drive shaft and bmr loop.

Ther loop techincally fits. But is very tight. Kelly has told me they will be revising the loop. I also have the gibson cat back , and the o2's are REALLY close, another area bmr will clearance.

Your post reminded me to email kelly and see if they have the revised loop yet.

I used the supplied spacer, kelly did not on his auto car. I also added a few washers to the mounting flange to crossmember to clear the mgw.

Awesome, I already purchased the mgw and am about to pull the trigger on the driveshaft since I want both installed at the same time. Seems like I should wait for the revised version of the safety loop. Let me know if you hear back. Thanks.

Drive Shaft Weight

Can anyone tell me the weight of the stock Automatic EcoBoost 2 piece drive shaft ? I want to get another CF drive shaft for my EcoBoost but I want to know if I'll save near as much weight as I did on my 14 GT conversion. Thanks
