How much is there to gain by switching to an LS1 driveshaft?
The year one catalog says it increases performance by having less rotating weight and absorbing vibration. Can you guys feel any difference? thanks

I switched about a year ago. For me it appeared to make my car bog a little less and have slightly more power down low.

It definately helps to create less vibration.

That's good news. My 94 car really shakes over 80mph these days. I have the newer driveshaft in my garage, just waiting to do the swap or have it done.

my car doesn't really shake at all at top speed tho so i don't know if it would make much difference. if it gives you more power i might put one on tho

I've been told by some other impala folks that switching from the stock 3" steel driveshaft to a 3" aluminum driveshaft is worth 10rwhp.

I know that its almost a requirment when you up to 4.10's...it eliminates the vibration that is caused.
I put one in because I found a sweet deal, couldnt really tell the difference, but, doesnt mean there isnt one.
