[QUOTE="86merc, post: 12508446, member: 82554"] The cost to reward ratio is something to consider for sure. Most guys seem to report they did not gain much in ET from the driveshaft either. Usually around a tenth. That is another hard one to swallow. I do not have one yet for that exact reason. I went with the wheels over the driveshaft. I am going with suspension and weight mods. Make what I have work more efficiently. Remember most of your ET comes in the first 330', or so, of the track. Improve your launch and the ET comes down. Driveshaft and rotors save rotating mass. But are expensive. A light weight rad support saves less weight but costs a whole lot less. Two or three cheaper light weight mods may save more weight and cost less. It is all part of the performance game. Multiple ways to get to the same result. Just have to come up with a game plan and get out testing. If you can borrow a skinny set up and test yourself that would be helpful. But that is a lot to ask sometimes. What mods do you have? Sway bar delete? If not do you remove the sway bar links when you go to the track? Maybe Qwiklinks would help with traction. Control arms and things like that done already? [/QUOTE]
