No HP gains to the engine, just easier to get the HP to the ground, not sure if it results in more wheel horse or not?

No HP gains to the engine, just free's up rotating mass. And like other's have said just easier to more HP and TQ to the ground.

it takes less power to turn so in turn you have more power at your foot put on a dyno you get peak power about 100rpm earlier on stock engine run chome-moly even better for planting power less flex heavy but worth the weight in gold, twisted my aluminum was not happy u-joints did not break damn buying good parts bit me in the ***.

Matter of fact,they work right up to mid '01 with the t45 trans for sure,a buddy of mine was in a pinch with his driveshaft in his '97 GT,and we put a '89 driveshaft in it.They were the same length.
