Only if you're drag racing or autocrossing N/A. If you have or are planning on getting turbo'd/blown/juiced, you don't race, or you track your car at an actual track, don't waste your time/money/effort/gas.

For the time being, yes. At some point further into development I will remove the A/C System.

what if the final drive is super cheap, you get a super cheap 2 way LSD as well...and all you have to do is the labor? well it wasnt totally cheap..I had to give up my quaife LSD...but so far I have NO complaints.
