and post isn't a which is better, as there totally two different parts!!!the evolution removes the faulty Compensators, YEA Baker too at first has lots of callbacks, the evolution gives me better gear ratios, even tho I did the 70/30 mod, I have tons of mid top, anything to help the low end, im all about it!!!!!

heres the evolution kit, comes with new Gold Heavy Duty chains.....its like having a open drive, ALL THE POWER RIGHT TO THE PAVEMENT....
