Its hard to say as the whole package:
Motor mounts. Trans insert.. Front Bar/bushings, Steering Rack bushings, Control arm Bushings, Subframe Bushings, and Rear Diff Bushings makes the car feel more solid and connected all the way around.. I could tell my launches were better...no wheel hope and minimal spin. so I think it hooked up alot better and way more smooth.. Turn-in is instantaneous.. Car goes where its pointed...no questions.. Steering is almost to sensative..to a point that if your not used to it, will easily make you overdrive the car.. once your used to it.. it drives sooooo easy that I was ahead soooo far on course that I went Conefree all day yesterday except my last run.. which I don't recall hitting any cones..so I might have just nicked one somewhere.. but as a whole.. Car is SOLID and completely connected.. if that makes sense..

sweet, didn't know they were finally out.


you also mention that oyu have the transmission insert, would you switch to a similar cusco/beatrush "cage" design if it came out or if it's already out or do you feel the insert is more than enough to get the job done?
