YES a CF driveshaft will make a difference - less than 1/10th APPARENT hp.

Reducing rotating mass DOES NOT increase horsepower in any way. PERIOD. FACT.
Can it result in faster acceleration - yes.
Can it provide Higher engine RPMs - yes.

Do you think the engineers that designed the space shuttle tested the whole assembly before they launched it the first time, or did they CALCULATE the total thrust of all three SMEs + SRBs?

GUESS WHAT - THEY CALCULATED IT and ... wait for it.... they were RIGHT.
You claiming to be an engineer doesnt mean that you are automatically right. You failed to understand I asked for someone with real experience and you didnt changed you propshaft obviously, you only crunch some numbers. So yes, you might be right on the numbers but thats not what I was asking for.
