About 80 each or combined? The ones I'm looking at weigh 32lbs each.

Bryan will be calling, they had an order goof. I volunteered to test fit for the coupes.

Mine is in and being touches up on the tune tonight.

I dont have an accurate Meth Tune comparison, but off the meth it made 505, so that will give us a good baseline as to how much HP it gained.

I only made 540 on meth but was at 17psi, should of been around 20-21, so with the best belt out of about 6, is on the car now so maybe ill see the magic 600 I was looking for.

cross your figers.

the other shafts are autos.. like I said the order got jacked but Bryan is calling you all soon. I got hit with the 800 balance the end of last week.

I was choose to test fit because the baseline shaft (before this group buy) went to the shop that has my car and they done one already so it made since to test mine out.

Bad news is the aluminum didnt save much weight over the Steel.

so look for steel ends in the future, they are easier and more user friendly to play with vs aluminum.

steel is actually better for balancing since there is no weight savings with the aluminum.

still 15lb is 50% loss. Frank@HillsGarage Net said he spun my driveshaft with 3 fingers, then afterwards it kept moving forever and ever.

Something came up so I didn't order one yet. I called the DS specialist and they said theirs weigh between 15-18lbs and can be made in 48hrs with free shipping.

Since we know that stock is a little over 30lbs the aluminum cuts about 50% of the weight also.
