[QUOTE="shelbysnake11, post: 15527282, member: 184073"] I'm sure that there is a lot of info on here somewhere for the difference, but I sent the driveshaft shop an email yesterday and got this as a reply. I thought some of you might find it useful. "Either one would will be a significant upgrade over the stock 2-piece driveshaft and work well for your setup. They and are capable of 1000HP and about a 3 week build time. The main difference between the carbon and aluminum driveshaft is that the carbon fiber tube is more torsional than aluminum, therefore it can twist more under load resulting in a smoother transfer of power at launch or between shifts. Aluminum is already much more torsional than steel, (about 15° under load vs about 5° for steel) but carbon fiber can go upwards of 30° to 35°. Carbon fiber is also typically quieter and there is typically a 2-3lb difference in weight which will help acceleration as well. will be a significant upgrade over the stock 2-piece driveshaft." I'm leaning towards the carbon fiber because of the noise canceling and i wouldn't have to run a driveshaft loop. Just wanted to pass along the info I got [/QUOTE]
