Just had the 4:10 gears, BMR LCA's and relocation brackets installed this weekend. I need to baby the gears for about 300 miles say's my installer but I can really feel the difference in the rear already. LCA's do wonders for handleing.

 

My installer (plus other advice I've seen) calls for 2-3 heat cycles (20 min drives and then full cool down) before getting on the gears.

Broke mine in that way and they are fine (zero noise).

 

can you feel a big difference? some say it feels as if you added 50hp...true? does the car pull as hard when going 100+ vs stock 355 gears?

I wouldn't say 50 hp but I would say 25. Feels like I doubled the power I got from going to the CAI and 93 octane tune.

Idon't know (yet)what the car feels like pulling over 100. I can say that on the bottom end I can believe a tenth or more likely two just came off the 1/4 mile time. 3rd gear feels like 2nd, etc. I love it.

My ex-boss just bought a Cadillac CTS-V so I'm locked into a automotive arms race.

 

oh boy, that should be fun haha......bet your tempted as all hell to just stab it once..............

 

I want to stomp the hell out of it but I'm showing some restraint. I did lean into it yesterday a bit and boy its gonna act an *** when I can hammer down. At about half throttle the tires are barking like they did at full throttle with the 3:31s.
