very true! it seems to be a real road runner with this setup! i drove my car with this setup for 3 days and loved it, yet i could not stay off the gas! the top speed is actually 117mph, i was just exategerating! my bad! lol, and yea u can start in 2nd like first if u wanted! it is just a fun way of making the car stupid fast with out spending billions of dollars! and the trans are always sellable for good prices! so it might be jsut a smart buy also! i got one from europe and is in transit as we speek!

THE DAILY DRIVING IS GREAT! THE GEAR RATIO IS THE BIGEST DIFFERENCE THAT I NOTICE! I AM GOING TO CR GEARBOX SOON AND STAYING WITH THE 4:10 REAR END! THAT IS A 1 TO 1 FINAL DRIVE IN 5TH GEAR, THAT MEANS A 105 MPH TOP SPEED, SO THE PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCE OF THE BIG WHEELS IS NOT A PROBLEM!


Do you know anyone with that same setup?
if 105 is your top speed, first gear may be unusable. 0-10mph. just a consideration.
