In the 1/4 mile it prevent another shift and at the track it put me better in the power for the corners (of course this is track specific).

Not disagreeing with your plans, just throwing out the experience I had.
Exactly. Thats why I am interested in these, because i would shift LESS with this gear set on (at least theoretically).
