I'm not sure it would make a big difference 1/4 wise as you will be changing gears more and it makes launching more difficult. This seems to be an item that track jockeys and road course runners will use. That said I want one, real bad.

I picked up 2mph on the trap, but could not better my et. The Tilton is the best 1/4 mile bang for the buck.

I dropped half a second after switching to the 3.53 final drive from the 3.32 in my 5AT.

How were your 60' times? Were you running street radials or slicks?
