The aluminum D/S is definitely a good idea, though i don't have any experience with FRPP stuff. The one I have is from Steeda. It definitely helps with a smoother transfer of power through the drivetrain. It doesn't free up massive amounts of WHP, though you will gain probably 3-5 HP at the wheels from the reduced rotational mass in the in the drivetrain. Anytime you can reduce rotational mass in the drivetrain it's a good idea..

it doesnt help withpeak HPmuch but it will add to the bottom end torque big time. i had a lightweight flywheel and driveshaft on my GT and it had TONS of bottom end torque freed up. i would say go for it man, its always a good thing to lighten up rotational mass. it will free up your bottom end and allow you to accelerate faster to a point, you wont feel it in the top end.
Hmmm interesting. I'm in a pickle between the DS and some gears. I think I may go with the DS for starters, simply because I don't feel like saving more money to have the gears installed at the moment.

you do know that motive makes FRPP right? its all in the install. either gear would be the same just have to be installed just right.
