If so, please give impressions.

I'm curious as to how significant this mod really is.

Saw it in Stillen's mag.

I have the stillen one on my Max,

My impressions are very good. The car windes up a bit quicker. The thing I noticed was it windes up so fast you get a lot of wheel hop under hard launches, I had to change my tire pressure to make it less noticable.

Slim, how much did it set you back and where did you get it from, if you don't mind. Thanks,

Emax95 is right about something, but if I can add...

it winds up so quick, it seems that 1st gear becomes a waste under normal driving. 1st gear, step on the gas, and half a second later, you feel like you need to shift..
it's a nice feel overall.

TMAX, I got mine from Stillen for ~$400. Also picked up a Dual Friction clutch as well. Can't wait, my clutch is slipping away...
