exactly in title... i saw one for sale and i figured that could be a good quick mod... but wasnt sure if they work on my car.... also they arn't hard to install are they? i have helped installed a driveshaft b4 but not on a camaro and it didnt seem too difficult is an LT1 any different?

thx tony

 

i did it - 2002 into my 1995 and 1994
took 10 minutes

It's lighter

 

Lighter, but not stronger. If you are having a vibration problem from the steel DS, it might help.

 

how much power can it handle then if it isnt as strong as the steel driveshaft?

also wat kind of gains can i see from it in the 1/4 mile

 

If you plan on going to the strip, I pesonaly wouldn't recommend an aluminum DS. I was trying to find the pics someone posted of thier's that broke, but they were deleted. DS twisted in half on a launch.

 

reallly??? how much power was he putting out???

 

hmm, well I have been to the track on street tires putting down 430rwhp and not twisted my ls1 driveshaft, but wait until the sticky tires get put on... then I will have problems.
Street driving its fine. I drive hard and do burnouts and hard accelerations with no ill effects... except for a ****ty stock 10 bolt that will be upgraded to the dana 60 soon. lol.

 

i have personally broke both an lt1(steel) and an ls1(aluminum). but i think with my 9 inch it was not having the correct pinion angle was the real problem. i have a buddy that cuts 1.51's short times on a stock ls1 shaft. i am not saying that it would never break but i think it will take a bunch of abuse before it would ever let go with a correct pinion angle. hell even if you spend big money and get a dennys shaft and put it in a bind it will break too.

 

That was me. And it was actually 3 pieces not 2 lol.

I was putting down less than 260 rwhp through a 6 speed. However, I was on sticky tires. That said, why do you want to change?
