I've got the BMR unit, along with LCAs and panhard bar on a lowered car, and was cutting 1.8x short times on F1s in the cool fall weather. So I'd say it helps.

I didn't really notice any difference at the track, but better traction on the street for sure. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Don't recall true pinion angle, but I set mine at -1.5* from the DS angle for the street. It does help at the track and was worth it to me. On a stock car though, not worth it IMO.
