To 4.57 owners
I had my gears installed about a month ago.
Did you guys notice big diffrence in performance?
I didnt see a huge diffrence at all, I mean maybe becouse I was breaking the car for 800 miles, and got used to them(4.57s) over time....
Now here is a question, to people that dont have yellow box, Can You tell me what is your spedo showing when for example you're in 4th gear at 4000rpms(or any other gear at any rpms)?
Thanks,
Brad

Things I notice with my 4.57's
1. Easier to get going from a stop.
2. 5th and 6th gears are driveable. They don't lug and are now good passing gears.
You really should consider getting the yellow box. You'll be putting unwanted miles on your car without it.

I don't recall being immediately impressed with the gears on the street, however, I do believe they help on the track where acceleration can be evaluated on a cumulative basis.

I dont care that much about the extra miles, the only thing that was worring me was that I didnt feel big diffrence in performance, thats all. I mean RCR that drove my car told me its easier to start the car off the line...but then again comparing my car to his its like comparig civic to nsx, his is SC'ed and he has N2O.........

Did you ever take your car to the drag strip before the mod? One way to get confirmation is to do a 1/4 mile run and see if your times have dropped significantly.

I wouldn't say it's that much of a difference I saw you pulling on the highway at the day of the pinic. You were moving pretty good.
