Default Re: 8 3/4 pro gears

I looked at Pro gears from Strange last year, but they were backordered forever, and ended up getting a Richmond street gear. The last couple years, I've been making 400+ runs/season. The "Finished" gear is quieter, runs more freely, and it picked the car up a few hundredths, even in the 1/8th mile. It's not something I was thinking about at the time, but there was definitely a performance gain to go along with the longevity. Given what I've been hearing about the quality of the metal in new gears these, I'd never run them without having them Finished. Cheap E.T., and when all said and done, doesn't cost any more than an untreated Pro gear.
