I’ve been working, and upgrading LS based cars for about 14 yrs now. My latest project is an 04 GTO. One of the upgrades I’ve done, is a 1 piece driveshaft, and with GTOs there seem more draw backs then positives . From limitation on MPH, and RPM to vibrations in the drive train.

What are the +/- of a 1 piece in our cars. Are they worth it. I like that immediate throttle response you get from them and transfer of power, but if there are too many draw backs I’ll stick with OEM.

Immediate plans are intake, exhaust E85 intake manifold and tune. Future upgrades a nitrous plate system.

Any and all comments and advice welcomed.
TIA

That's strange since from my understanding these issues are actually what a 1 piece shaft is usually installed in Mustangs to alleviate. The Mustang 2 piece shaft with the carrier bearing has a MPH limitation and it's known to vibrate from failed carrier bearing bushings sometimes even in cars with lower mileage.
I'm not a fan of E85 but to each their own: E85 Conversion | Ford Mustang - LMR.com
