When is a good time to go from stock Driveshaft to a 1 piece Aluminum?

Getting pretty heavy on the HP mark at wheels, when is a good time to change this out? or is the ZL1 stock version solid enough?



Any have any experience with the 1 piece ones and is there any noticeable drivability or launch improvement?


I have been looking at both the DSS and GeForce offerings.



Thoughts?

So true...

I have the DSS CF version... smoother transition to diff since it’s one piece...

I guess what I was looking for is:


Is there any truth to the single shaft, single joint is more responsive and the less rotational mass a perf improvement or just an insurance strength policy??
