make", I assume you mean in acceleration. Increasing the gear ratio on a car is one of the most tried and true ways of allowing the engine the rev faster and get into the powerband quicker. I can't predict exactly how much your car will benefit, but by looking at your power curve and peak horsepower I'd say the gains would be significant (There is an important caveat that I encourage everyone to consider before buying and installing the gears...make sure you have adaquate TRACTION; if not, your car will be slower, ie. no traction, no power to the ground). You might want to wait and see how various cars respond to the mod and determine if it would be worth your money. You also mentioned the guys that did the TT to NA swap, they would be a good group of "test cases" to ask in regards to performance. If you have a minute let me know how and where you drive your car, and what you use for wheels (size) and tires, and I'll give you some additional feedback. Thanks, Mark
