I think it makes more of a nicer ride cause less vibration, I din't feel any gain of power though

I love mine. Defintely less vibration and if you're geared (which you are) you really need it, and if you see and extra tenth in the quarter...even better

I'd run one if your running slicks but I'd also upgrade my axles too. I'm not sure how weak the stock driveshaft is but the aluminum one comes with a much larger yoke and pinion flange. It also uses 1330 u joints instead of 1310.
