STi-RA gearset make a difference in acceleration?
My car is in the shop now getting the RA gearset installed and I was wondering how much it would help out my 1/4 mile time (given the same driver/track/hp.....) over the weak and horribly geared stock gears? Anyone have any numbers w/ the RA gearset?

I do believe it helps out more on higher hp cars as opposed to the smaller benefit a stock wrx would receive, right? Or would it simple be a larger time gap gained but be the same percentage as compared to the hp of the car?

35 in 4th was 225 or so
146 was the fastest i got it tonight and it wouldnt go any faster due to power and wind resistance, i took a picture with my phone and i was at redline as well, but my turbo timer read 146. any other questions or speeds at what rpm let me know and i will check.
