get race - sounds like you are going to kill on it a little - they are fine and do a better job on the old hop.

hey, just out of curiosity here, but SRT4DRIVER... you seem to have this big love jones for getting your car into the 12's??? in fact, the last few posts have been all about that... what gives?? why the 12's?? who has the low 13 sec. you HAVE to beat

on that note, when you dip into the 12's, aren't you supposed to have a cage in your car if you are running "legally" at the race track??? I know there is a value that if you drop below (for time) you are "supposed" to have a cage...

Mine is my daily driver and I went with the race inserts. With the top race insert in it is extremely mild and only noticed on acceleration, it grabs alot better and goes with less softness, and it transmits vibration throught the rest of the car on start up, which nis very little. I have yet to put in my lower insert, but I've heard that it doesn't worsen it anymore than just the upper one.

I think most tracks require cages in the 11's
