"FREE" Up Horsepower with an Aluminum Driveshaft - Dyno Tested!

  • Опубліковано 7 сер 2024
  • If you understand basic physics, then you know that reducing weight from a vehicle's driveline will help with acceleration and "free" up some horsepower. We use the term "free" up since the power is already there, you're just helping the engine not work as hard by replacing the heavier component with one that is lighter. The most common driveline upgrade on rear wheel drive Mustangs is a driveshaft. Aftermarket aluminum or carbon fiber driveshafts help reduce rotational mass, thus increasing acceleration and "freeing" up horsepower.

    The power that's brought back from parasitic losses is NOT the true benefit. The reduction of extra rotational mass weight on the transmission is significant. Don't forget fuel mileage will be impacted in a more positive aspect of the daily driving experience.

    The results were negligible, but what’s important is what you can’t see. The added weight of the old drive shift slows initial acceleration (hence the statement what you feel) and more importantly the wear and tear you save on your drive line due to the initial power transformer under take off. Think of spinning a crank with your arm with a heavy crank versus light. Once up to speed no problem, but that initial start is where you get the payoffs.

      Heads up: the car might stall much more easily if the motor is tuned for top hp . I had a speed shop tune my 11:1 331 na with all the bolt ons, they tuned on a dyno… when I was parking the car, yanking the steering wheel suddenly would stall the car. And the speed shop acted like it was my fault for not knowing that would happen (they just didn’t know how to tune).
      Just buy a blower though, that’s the lesson I learned.

    Pretty sure lightnings and 03-04 cobra came with aluminum driveshafts stock. I did the Ford performance ds on my 07 gt500 the biggest thing is when you're making 750+ rwhp like I am with a gen3r the stock driveshaft won't hold up especially if you're on fat drag radials like I also am. That was the biggest reason for the upgrade for me but freeing up couple hp and torque and making it Rev faster and drop almost 20 lbs rotational are all icing on the perverbial cake. I could use all the weight savings I can get on my fat 3900 lbs mustang haha. I'm prob around 3800 now and I got some lighter corbeau gts2 seats on the way that should drop 30-40+ easily I might do a rear seat delete also since I never use it and this car isn't my daily. It has a lighter exhaust and an f14 drag pack on it too. I'd like to get her down to 3700 lbs or less without killing street manners or gutting it into a tin can I think that is easily doable.

Are the yellow dots for balance considerations? Thanks. I’ve got a similar 2014 GT and at 26000 miles I think the carrier bearing rubber isolator is going out and causing the driveshaft to vibrate some. So I may be looking at the same driveshaft install.

I'm looking for multi functional parts forst before i spend $2650 on carbon fiber to save 125 lbs (without doing doors or it'd be like 240lbs total) which is 5% of total weight cut. It's a good amount but if i do things like lighter wheels, lighter tires with performance (i have all seasons currently), aluminum driveshaft, possible rear diff upgrade, exhaust system probably last, then I'd probably save around 400 pounds or 16% in total weight reduction.
    Then i would start with performance parts like brake kits, cams, etc. I'm doing webber carbs right now. I wonder what other parts like the driveshaft i can cut weight and improve performance at the same time

  • @johnterpack3940
    @johnterpack3940 Рік тому

    The thing about rotational mass is that the radius of the spinning object matters. A driveshaft is a fairly poor flywheel because it's so thin. So you really aren't saving much of anything compared to the stock steel piece. Especially when you look at the overall rotating mass-- the tires and diff spin too. This makes sense as part of a lightening program. But power gains are almost entirely theoretical.

    A better explanation isnt the horsepower benefit from less rotational mass.
    - A lighter driveshaft means less rotational mass to be accelerated, allowing the car's engine to transfer power more efficiently to the wheels. This can result in improved acceleration times; you'll notice that the revs tend to "hang less" and more responsive to the shift patterns.
    - Increased Fuel Efficiency: A lighter driveshaft means less energy is required to rotate it, resulting in lower fuel consumption and improved fuel efficiency.
    - Improved Handling: A lighter driveshaft can reduce the overall weight of the vehicle, which can improve handling and reduce body roll during cornering.
    - Reduced Wear and Tear: A lighter driveshaft can reduce the load on other drivetrain components, such as the transmission and differential, resulting in reduced wear and tear on these parts.

    Don’t ever put a one piece on a 6r80 transmission because you’ll have vibrations issues. The factory unit is a two piece with a carrier bearing due to the design requiring it. There is excessive tail shaft play by design w that trans and needs a carrier bearing to stabilize it.

      Are you speaking from personal experience? I've never had an issue with a one-piece driveshaft in a 6R80 car. My wife has a ~700 WHP supercharged Coyote car with one, and it's been problem free for 5+ years with occasional drag strip use. Also, I know and have driven a few cars with 100k+ miles, and they're smooth as can be. You might want to check the balance of the driveshaft that you have. -Landan

      It isn't just for power gains it holds up to power alot better the factory one is a weak link. It is also 17 lbs removed from the vehicle it all adds up. Little here and little there and you're 200-300 lbs lightee before you know it.

    No need for a carbon fiber one tbh, just more money when an Aluminum will get the job done.

      Big power build will need a CF shaft. They help absorb hard launches. AL will also fail before an CF will

    Folks driveshafts DO NOT give you power. None, zip.. it just feels like it. I've done and seen over 600 shaft upgrades on stock V8 muscle on tbe dyno. Any, ANY shop that tells you it makes power is FULL OF BS.

    • @latemodelrestoration
      @latemodelrestoration  4 місяці тому

      A driveshaft doesn't "allow" the rev limiter to be removed. A handheld tuner has that functionality. The critical speed of a driveshaft is determined by it's length, outside diameter, wall thickness, and u-joint series. If you have that info, you can calculate the driveshafts "critical speed". -Landan
