Well I drove it like 40 miles I think today back from work. Held gear on hills and a lot peppier. Now I just need a new speedo gear because it says I'm going 80 when I'm going 55ish (according to a phone app I downloaded for free) rpms weren't too high. Definitely happy with it, but we'll see the gas mileage numbers...
Keep us informed.

I'll keep informed. I think I need another passenger side hub. there's a pulsing vibration coming from that corner. It was there before the gear install, but it seems more noticeable now.
