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

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.
