My 3.73's felt a major first gear difference until I put the Mac Prochamber on and lost low end TQ. But now that I have the SCT X-cal 2 dyno tune, the car feels like that's back.

Possibly over-torqued the crush sleeve and headed for the real bad place where diff takes a dump?

SOTP Gain? Yes.

Overwhelming? No.

Noticable? Definately.

I can jump cars hard on the freeway with no delay which is great. Very little lag off the line from stoplights where I felt like I had a turbo waiting to be spooled with 3.27s with the 2vs powerband.

Same here. The most noticeable difference (as far as improved acceleration) for me was that my car pulled harder on OD (4th).

the only time I would feel a difference with my 4.10 gears in my auto 98GT was when I would take off the line past people. I would notice it was easier to gain ground. But thats about it...it was only a visual difference. The car def never felt faster to me...

Throttle reponse and low end TQ feels like it's back. I don't know what he did, I'm just the driver, and it was tuned. I'm not complaining
