I wouldn't touch a L/U switch with a stock input. From my understanding, if it breaks, it takes other parts with it $$$$. Of course if your looking for an excuse for a new tranny... by all means lock and load.

It will help you out but be sure you know what could happen. I only use mine to make some nice smoke shows now due to slipping tranny.

u have comletely stock power levels....shifting locked shoudlnt do anything if u only do it a couple times id be more concerned with that stock plate fully forward for prolonged periods of time and u having no gauges

all that being said with u putting out stock numbers and going racing ur gonna be right there with the minivans in quarter mile times....ooooooooooooooooh thats harsh ooooooooooooh

Like that GSK is going to help you run away from the minivans.

Oh wait I didnt see that you lost the silencer ring thats another second off in the 1/4 mile.

Im sorry but it WILL not knock 2 secs off your 1/4 miles time. I ran a 16.4 with mine unlocked and I know it wont be a 14.4 with it locked.
