Message	so there is almost no benefit, compared to larger diameter things like wheels and tires, flywheels, etc. I've never seen data to say otherwise. ..... There's a reason Nissan made it 2 piece. Again, I'll say that it is possible to end up with one almost as smooth as stock, but not better, for street applications. And there are so many stories on this site of disappointment, often with owner going back to stock. I hated mine, after all the clocking in the world. Some people swear by them, and I can't say they are wrong, but op needs to know going in that it's not a sure thing he'll be happy with it.
