This can certainly be construed as "within the tolerance of 10%" for a noob to try out and experiment with. You wouldn't call them similar, but I would. Your definition of "similar" is different from my definition of "similar," and your opinion versus mine. I ran both and had absolutely no difference in lap times, and I doubt he would, either.
In the spirit of this forum, which is intended to champion the camaraderie of the hobby, perhaps you shouldn't overanalyze an innocent statement made by someone who is merely trying to help out a fellow hobbyist who had some basic questions.

Bingo! I know when we talk among experts, we can give actual gear ratios--like "3.00 to 3.07" and stuff like that--when talking about spurs and pinions. But when helping out newbies, we always try to keep it very simple as to not confuse them. That way they can try stuff and get a feel for what works at their particular track. Glad we are on the same page! Thanks!

Did you use actual TLR oil or the kit oil? This may cause it to feel stiff. The 5 x pistons for the front and rear are really meant for indoor. You will likely like the 8 x setup for outdoor better if that is where you are playing.

I'll find out on my maiden run this weekend.
I took your advice and used oil not included in the kit. The rear feels great, but the front with 1.4x5 pistons and 37.5 ae oil felt overdampened still. I put in tekno 8x1.3's up front last night with 40wt ae oil and it feel much better on bench. I'll be putting it to the test this weekend. Thx for the help.
