With out feeling them in my hands or running on the track, that would make sense. But as always, it depends on how the change feels to the driver. most people come here to ask how well something works because they dont want to spend the money unless the reviews are good. Others buy everything and try it out and report back. Last, some just do what ever their friends do and believe it. Most people are of the first type. the first group rely on the second group to help decide what to buy. The last group are living in their own world. I am in the second group, lol.


To further this discussion. What about Dogbone pin wear? I have notices that some of my pins are getting flat spots on the forward driving face. I know some people rotate the bone (left to right) to get a more even wear. This flat spot seems like it would cause more friction on the plunge and also add in more bind under power. So how does all that play into when to replace the bones.
Really the only thing you'll get from dogbone wear is increased out drive wear and a serious loss in traction.
