The final drive change is huge in feel. It has a minor hit on highway mialge but is worth it. Going from the 14 FRS to the 20 86 was like gaining about 20HP in feel. Since the actual HP increase was only 5 I feel that it is all in the final. If for some weird reason I had to go back to a pre 17 car I would put the final drive swap at the very top of my list.
