they say it only nets about .2 off your time but some people have had better results, it really depends on your mods and how well you can drive IMO. Im so anxious to see the difference it is killin me, good bye shitty 2.73s hello awsome 3.42s. oh yeah and what is the break in period??? my installer is givin me some used 3.42s that have hardly any miles on them and im wondering how long until i can get on it and see what she can really do???
