This winter I installed a driveshaft and although the car definetely revs faster I'm not sure if it "felt" any faster or not.... Don't misinterpret what I'm saying, I think it's a worth-while mod but again don't expect mind blowing differences.

At the end of the day, some people have had vibration issues depending on what brand of shaft is installed; if I was a buyer again, based on that consumer info, I would likely do the pullies and delete plates first.
Thanks Tom saved me alot of typing as this is what I felt exactly. The UPD's and Delete plates really improved acceleration between 30-60mph.

Exactly. also unless you port the intake side of your heads, and also port your intake runners you will not be seeing any benefit from a larger port on the delete plates.
