Pretty cool, and damn that looks sweet. Maybe Ill try that when i get gears. Be sweet to run 4.10's in the stock 10 bolt and have them live through some beatings.

It seems as though they can do this to anything since it doesnt alter the sizes of anything.

I would imagine that you pick up horsepower because there's less resistance in the metals because of the smoother surfaces and that would equal to a better transfer of power to the rear wheels. Just a guess.

even if you only picked up 5 or 6 ponies at the rears, it'd be worth it because you'd also get the increased durability.

Thats what im saying, Its nice to have some added HP, but really I think the goal is durability. I know thats why I would get it. Now just to find where I can get it done to my 4.10's!

The gears have to be brand new or they wont do it for ya. You can get it done by crane in daytona beach FL or in jersey somewhere.
