Its one of the methods to improve the delivery of available power through the drivetrain.

When we talk about wheel HP, power from the engine is lost through the drivetrain. In this case roughly 15% of power is lost through the drivetrain from the crank to the wheels.

A lightweight and rigid drive-shaft would improve this. Giving you more play with the power your already making.
