What i want to know is, i've been hearing that it does the exact same as the drop resistor, and that doing the drop resistor puts shifting as fast as it can get, while the vb mod stages up to that, I II and III. Now, if they do the same thing, wouldnt it make more sense just to have the DR for 3 bucks, and 10 minutes of your time? Or am I missing something? I want to ge tthe VB mod, but want to know of anyone's gains with it on the track. I'm interested in getting the stage II, but am not sold on it yet. I've done the dr mod hooked up to a switch, and at the track, ill be honest, it didnt seem much faster, and 2-3 still bogged like a b!tch.
