The car pulls more around 3500 than it did prior to installation. However, it seems to me that the top of the curve flattened a bit. I prefer the torque down lower in the curve so I don't mind it, but other people might prefer having more top line torque. I think it shaved about a half second off 0 - 60 mph.



I've wanted to do that gear for a while, I'd like to know how it goes and specifically if there are any driveability problems, thanks.

Also, does the board think it would be worthwhile to replace the timing chain guide rails and tensioner without actually changing the chain or crank sprocket? My engine has no problems at 133K but I want it to last forever.
