Thanks for the info Jim ! I was expecting at least .2 better ET. If it's only worth a tenth or less, then it's probably not worth the expense for the brake and necessary drive train and suspension upgrade, at least not for a barely under build.

I still adjust tire pressure and RPM. Bob Cruzen, Gary Emmons and Pete Perry all coached me a lot about them when I first tried doing this again.

Sounds like your car might benefit from the trans brake. My car did pick up when the brake was installed. That was years back and I was barely running the index at the time. It made my car easier to drive and more consistent on the tree.
