They didn't do the A-B-A (not sure how you could do an actual A-B-A test with the same set of gears), and they used a new set of gears for the treatment. I don't get super excited about that for several reasons that could call into question the nit-picky, undeniable scientific precision of thiws test, but this example with other tests that have been documented show there is enough evidence to indicate it would be worth investigating. Certainly enough to not make such a big deal about Jim Bailey's claims.
I'd expect to see the career test/tuners that post on other sites to rely on Car Craft for their performance info but not one who I assume to be a class racer, posting on classracer.com

Surprised and disappointed.

Bottomline is I have yet to see 1 who has replied here answer all the op's questions, proving 1st hand info.

Bottomline 2...jim made a rediculous claim that my car could run a 1.15 60 foot, .02 quicker than my best and .05 quicker than my average with this $100 treatment. If you believe that nonsense send him your R&P.

Bottomline 3...the op didn't ask about increased gear life/durability yet many that replied spoke solely on that supposed benefit to which I stated that you'd have a hard time convincing me and many other racers I know of the need for this process when I have logged 631 passes to date in a 3144 lb. car 60 footing 1 teens with nothing more than an out of the box gear set bath in 1 quart of Mobil 1 gear lube.

Update, make that 22 users now that have not answer all the op's questions of which 7 only replied to this thread to comment on my replies.

FYI, my name is on my profile page for all to see.
