Carbon fiber driveshaft

Anyone running one? Interested to see how much of a difference it makes. Assuming quicker revving and acceleration. What kind of weight savings? Thinking it would make a nice upgrade, free up existing power and lose some lbs
Post up if you have any experience
Thanks

I know some of the top drag racers use them here, for two reasons. 1 is its the weak link in the drive train, and is the first thing to break and easy to replace. 2 is anytime you can reduce rotating mass, its huge for speed, im not a physicist to confirm this, I have just asked other racers as to why carbon fiber is so good for it.
I'm curious as to how it helps in our cars.
