It loses about 40# or so in the overall weight of the car. Reduces rotating mass so more RWHP. No clunk when going into gear. That's 3 right there.

Most on this forum use Denny's. I got mine from JPC. Around $700 is the average price.

I would assume that you would need to get a tune to get the best out of it right???But would you need one just to "get up and go"???

A SpyderShaft I think is going for around $500. That's what I have and I couldn't be happier.
