I went from 3.08 to 3.55's and I love them I shaved almoust 4tenths off. *** for the pics they dont look so bad, but if there is decent size chips or peices missing I would be very carefull, I personally wouldnt use them if they had iny flaws!
not trying to dogg you or anything but were you running consistant in the 1/4 with that 4/10 cut off estiment? cuz ive had people tell me they've done this and that and it did this to them in the 1/4 but then later i do what they did and find out it didnt help me out much. and i talk to them or thier friend and i find out they didnt run consistant 1/4. again... not trying to disrespect. just curious cuz if 355's will cut off 4/10 of a 1/4 hahaha thats my next mod!!
Going from 3.08s to 3.55s and adding some Nitto DRs cut 4 tenths off my 1/4 also and it had more in it. With 3.55s and tires I bet I could have taken .6 off my ET. You don't need really low gears to run quick times if you have the right mods.
