If this is true then I would love to see the charts, and see the weight drop vs. the increase.

If a lighter weight driveshaft reduces hp loss to the road, then it does seem that lighter weight wheels, tires, and/or rotors would do the same.
I have read reduced weight = HP gains, but not sure if that would actually translate to a dyno. Be nice if it did.
