Thanks, it was good to see an actual test of the micronite. Been hearing about it for a while now, and was wondering if it was legit. I wonder what the added cost is? 15 Horse power and a 24 degree drop in temperature seems like a pretty good pickup in addition to a gear swap.

I swapped out the 3.73's in my 12-bolt for some Mikronited Motive gears a couple of months ago. It sounds crazy, but I noticed an immediate SOTP improvement and the car revved faster. Roger was great to deal with and even talked to my friend who helped install the ring and pinion. He does recommend Motive gears and a very tight backlash setting. It took us hours to get it setup right, but IMO it was well worth it.
