An aluminum driveshaft will help out in a couple areas. 1. Aluminum is lighter than stock steel, and so reduces your drivetrains rotatiing inertia, this decreases the power lost between the crank and the rear wheels, which in effect will increase acceleration. 2. Aluminum is not as hard as steel and so driveline vibrations are absorbed more effectively. 3. Aluminum is tougher than steel (it has a larger elastic range on the stress-strain curve, this does not mean it's stronger, just that it is more resiliant to abuse). When higher gears are used more stress is placed on the drivetrain components. Aluminum is less likely to fatigue due to the increased stress because of its superior elastic capability.
