There has been NO confirmation if this product will work on a US Spec IS-F...

messing with the RPM range to me sounds like a horrible idea... the transmission shifts so nicely anyways... i personally dont think its necessary.. if the transmission blows.. i bet its prob like 10,000$ to reinstall a new one..

I didn't realize the rear gear was so low. It sure wouldn't hurt hwy mileage much to go up to a 3.5 or even a 4 to 1 for even better low end performance.

Gears are one of those things that really have to be setup based on your needs. A guy who just drag races will want a setup different than the guy who does track days twice a month.
Please don't let me talk you out of gears. I would love to see some real world data on gear swaps in the F. If you do it find a good shop. You don't want to end up with gear whine.

I have a feeling 4.00 or more might be a bit much even for drag racing. In the Mustang world 4.10s are a common mod for guys looking for quicker 1/4 mile times when their cars are still making close to stock power. The thing I noticed is most guys go back to 3.55s when they start getting north of 400 rwhp because the car can't hook up in first with 4.10s and they need an extra shift to run the 1/4 mile.

I'd love a rear gear but wouldn't want to mess up my warranty so probably won't do the change.
Yes, ring and pinion settup takes some expertise. You definitely don't want a rookie doing the job for you...

Here's what the chart looks like with the IS350's 4.083 rear gear:
Looks like a quarter mile run will get into 6th gear.
