The 4.44 final gear set was proven by me to be good for roughly half a second in the 1/4 mile. So, it's like having half of a supercharger. 
The only downfalls are:
- The risk of taking apart a perfectly assembled rear end and having someone put it back together
- Cost of installation (usually $500+ at a Honda dealership)
- Higher RPMs at a given speed / lowered top end.

"Principalities" is a good one...it's from a movie some of you have probably seen, heheh.
Sounds like the good outweights the bad...at least to me, thanks...

I never said that I could spell.
consultant + consulted = consultanted
See what happens when your hands don't do what your mind tells them to AND you don't use the spell checker.

I found a shop in League City that will install the set I purchased from Bulletproof. This guy and his crew build motors, indy cars, install superchargers, NOS kits, and custom Civic and Prelude heads. The owner even builds airplane engines. They have their own machine shop and "dust free" assembly rooms. You can even take a tour. I was blown away at the indy cars up on jack stands and the machine shop. Very clean place indeed. I have elected to pull my rear end out myself because I can not get a confirmation on what all parts are exactly needed. Most shops charge you extra to keep your car up on a rack while waiting on parts. Because this has not been done very much in Houston, this is the only way I feel I can get it done efficiently. Plus with only 1300 miles on my car, I have to trust the installer. PM me and I can hook you up! I'm waiting on the yellow box to recalibrate the speedo and a few parts from Honda before I pull it.
