Hi H Bomb and Studntloan (or anyone that has actually done this). I am really interested to hear your real life experience on this.

1) 1st gear I hear from others in this thread I think that 1st is now unusable due to traction or too short.... what is the real life experience when you tromp it off the line, or pull away hard.
2) from 2k to 5k can you describe the feel difference compared to stock please - I think this is where the diff really comes in. Once the thing explodes past 5-6k, you don't need the torque.
3) are you breaking traction a lot more now and can't get the torque down to the road - this would be a major issue for me.

Thanks

PS: Is there anyone in the Toronto, Ontario area that has this done? I would love to go for a ride before I do it.
