What are some benefits with my build?

Same benefit as a lightened flywheel: reduced rotating mass.

Also, less looses due to the center joint on the OEM two piece drive shaft. And with a CF one if/when it finally does fail it'll just turn into a cool and expensive broom and won't come through the floorboard.

The negative is that one piece drive shafts are more likely to fail than a two piece... BUT there is another option..... a custom LIGHTWEIGHT two piece made to order by a local DS shop!

please correct me if im wrong just going from memory..

100 lbs ='s 1 second increase in the 1/4 mile
10lbs rotational mass is = to 150 pounds stagnant.
