I have one on my car...there is no TA clearance issues unless you have a front DS loop built into the TA (a la spohn). I had to cut my front DS loop off...
I'll look to see if I can find some pictures.

Thanks for the info. Phate did you get better 1/4 mile time after you installed it. If you have some pic's that would be great.I have a BMR TA on mine will that make any difference on clearance than the sophn.

Phate might be able to fill you in on that, but I know they definitely aren't cheap.

To tell you the truth, after things went together I ended up changing combinations and the car has been sitting a while. I am planning to ship it off and get it finished, but that is maybe 3-4 months out.
So, no track impressions with the GV...but it works as advertised and you can set it in auto mode so that it clicks on @ 50 or so or use it in manual mode.
The driveshaft is REALLY short, I had my Denny's re-sized to fit and it works well. Not sure how the BMR TA is different then the Spohn unit, so I can't comment as to issues there. Sorry that I can't offer more info...but the install was actually pretty simple and pain free.
