It will be like to gain 25 HP, I think .
Really? I thought swapping diffs didn't affect overall horsepower at all except for an increase in torque to aid acceleration response. Regardless, excellent mod!!! Are you also changing out the stock flywheel with a lightweight component?

Obviousy it doesn't add HP, but increases acceleration "as to have" more HP, I meant .

Not now: the installation is a very long job and I prefer to wait till my clutch will end up, because it is near the clutch
