Oh, don't get me wrong i'm all about losing some of the weight for sure. I have a goal to pull 200lbs out of my car...which is getting pretty close to reality. If I could I would definitely upgrade the drive shaft.(against the rules of the class the car is prepped for)

But the point is, "Must have Mods". Driveline is a "nice to have" mod IMO.

You will get more out of light weight wheels.(acceleration, handling response, braking, good looks...usually) Plus wheels a lot of times is a must have to fit the tires you need. LCA's, UCA's, Spring, shocks...these things are more common to correct for inherent flaws that hold the car back in stock form. Throttle response and acceleration are not really inherent flaws with these cars.

I could see DS upgrade as "Must have" if you put a whole bunch of power in the car and you needed the drive train upgrade to handle it.

 

Eh to each his own. I read somewhere that rotational mass is roughly 3 times/can be counted as 3 times more when rotating. So guessing the stock shaft is 40 lbs then while spinning it would be similar to 120 lbs, where as the aluminum would be 60, that's a pretty good drop in weight.

 

The most consistent ratio I've found is 4:1 FWIW. Would love to see some hard data if anyone has a link to something.

 

Never said that I had broken one, it was this post I read on BMO;

That's even more ridiculous.

 

yes a must, you wouldn`t believe how much oil you catch in such a short time. That oil will rob performance eventually if you don`t have a catch can.

 

Can't you clean the engine out of built up sludge with Seafoam or something similar?

 

With 5500 miles on our GT500, we've only got a few drops in our left catch canister & the right is bone dry.

 

You are very lucky to have such a small amout. I was under the impression that S/C'd motors would have more than N/A engines?

Here's a picture of what I collected from the passenger's side of my 2013 Boss after a couple hundred miles of "Cruising.":



I've got a new system that I'll be installing...that will collect and vent both sides.
