spohn extreme duty driveshaft

hey i was wondering has anyone used this.....

http://www.spohn.net/shop/1982-1992-...nsmission.html

i want to eventually get rid of my factory aluminum driveshaft for a better one.... i hear that these things are abit heavier than stock... would a heavier driveshaft have an effect on my car revving.... i know heavier rotational mass will do this... but eventually i want to build up my entire drive line to be bullet proof...

i have one build the same, but its made by Strange. I honestly didnt notice much of a difference over the 3.5" aluminum one i had. But it is noticeably heavier.
