I am running them, I love them, they work very well. I am runing 28inch tall tire, bridgestones 275/45/20. I have hotchkis 2-4 lowering kit. At launch I useto buck and go side ways (2000rpm)with out caltracs. now I launch at 2500rpm it actually bogs and goes straight. I start to lose traction in the higher rpms. I think its because of the zo6 cam (02) it opens up at 3500rpm, but it still goes straight. With the stick I cant build boost off the line, I just installed a two step to help but it is not hooked up right. I hope this helps.

I like mine. There is no difference that I can tell. Then again, with them just sitting pretty in the box, they probably aren't doing me any good!
