My back of envelope calculations show that if you could magically make the driveshaft weight ZERO, you would suddenly have a whopping 1/4 more hp (more realistically like 1/10).

So I am very interested in seeing the "sheets".

The whole thread is one of the most entertaining I have read in a while, but here is the page with the calcs:

So can you "feel" the difference between the stock and high perf driveshafts?
Yes, but it is likely because the NVH is WORSE which feels like more hp.
