Obviously removing 15lbs of rotational mass in the drive train will net a better performance increase, because either way, you are reducing 15lbs, but one option reduces rotational mass and helps put more power to the ground.

I'll go for the drive shaft option every single day. I think you need to go back to school and learn some general laws of physics.
He said noticeable difference bro. That, combined with the findings that the ratio for rotational to nonrotational mass is 1.1:1 (I.E no realizable difference when we're looking at 10 pounds, which would mean that 10 pounds taken from the driveshaft equals 11 pounds taken anywhere else)

Sorry bud but you can't argue with physics. Love that you ignore everything in the forum and focus on what you can wrap your mind around
