does a lightweight DS makes sense on a street car? worth it?

 

[D.T.R]

in for an answer as well.

I am curious as well. I am sure it has to benefit the driveline to shed that 50 pound anchor.

I would say yes for 2 reasons. First, less rotating mass equals faster acceleration. Second, If you add a upper 3rd link and LCA's you can get a clunk from the slop in the factory driveshaft. This solves that problem as well.

So would I recommend this as your first mod, no. But, it is definitely one that should be on your list as you improve your Stang. Happy Modding!

I would hope everyone would do this as a mod at some point.

I can't wait to get mine from steeda, but what are the specs mattracer on the steeda DS that yall offer. I've looked on other websites and they have specs for what it can handle horse power, and torque wise, as well as everything else. Do yall have the specs?

I saw Ford has a Carbon Fibre Shaft for the Shelby

The Driveshaft Shop has an impressive new offering. It is pricey, $799, but it is supposed to be completely vibration free. That is an issue for me as I drive this car every day and I do not want any vibration introduced.

That is a great looking driveshaft and that is the way I would go.

My choice would be Dynotech but I know alot of guys are running a DSS one and love it. Anything is better than the stock 2 piece unit. It's a god damn boat anchor.

I had issues with shaftmasters vibrating, they're a great company to work with though, no issues on the return. They had stopped selling them for a while but I believe they have them back on their site. I looked into the DSS and Dynotech, called Lethal and they told me they had less complaints with the Dynotech and for me since Shelby used them on their Supersnakes I went with Dynotech. Installed and no harmonic humm. As far as for my car, I can say it ran 11.77 with and 11.95 without. Others have reported similar to no gains. Hope this helps...

I've gotten a shaftmasters and love it! I did a bunch of other stuff at the same time, so it's hard to say if I had any acceleration benefit.
