The gears themself aren't going to give you any sort of performance gain. To acheive that, you're going to have to go to a dyno and adjust the cams to where you want the power.

so far, i think there were several people that have dynoed their cars with all sorts of settings.. in fact, with talking with marcus and seeing his charts, 2 and 2 was proven to have the best results NA, not too sure about boosted tho. i have them set 2 and 2, and i saw nice gains!
also, you should be able to get the gears for 125 each, maybe less. check around...

2 and 2 was not good on my setup, i got hella backfire, shitty idle, bad boost response, blow off valve was not functioning right, engine was throwing a "timing belt skipped a tooth" code, etc.... I set them back to 0 and 0 for now and it fixed every problem i was having all in 2 minutes :-) The dyno will only tell whats best.
