The gears went in with a Quaife LSD, and you definitely want a serious LSD with the short rear. No idea what my engine is making (just headers, spacer and pop), but it's a whole lot easier to spin the tires now; come Spring, I'm exchanging my Pilot Sport A/S for summer rubber. Without the Quaife, I'd probably like the gears a lot less than I do.

The 350evo gears are hands down too expensive. Saying you get what you pay for is crap. Look at gears for other cars and you will see.
Go with the Central 20 if you can find a set. You need the same additionaly parts for the install regardless of which you buy. Both are only a ring and pinion.

YEP this is why i buy chinese knock of shoes...You take some company that puts all the R&D then sells them one for a personal car and a few mos later the company deut their own identical ring a pinion.. wy 3.9 and not 4.10 or 3.8 or 3.7... just because they used some one elses idea and with that lack of production cost the sale cost is much lower....
I suppose its business but i am going to always support a cincy local business for their ingenuity.
