Is there any drawback to a forward pattern/lba VB? I like the forward pattern on the factory slapstick and don't want to change it.



From talking w/ Turbo-Action and reading stuff elsewhere, a RMVB design is faster on the track for reasons I can't explain (not a tranny guru).

I have a FMVB w/ my factory Slap-Stik for exactly the same reasons you stated. Works for me.
