I just had mine installed

1) $180 for the Trac-Loc, $80 install kit and about $270 for gears, installed by a friend for a 12 pack

2) My city driving mpg actually improved a little as the motor does not work as hard to get to speed, I have not done a highway trip yet, but expect it to be less by a little

3) have not been to the track yet

4) off the line response is great! in the wet weather you have to drive careful so as not to end up turned completely around. a limited slip is a requirement for great dry launches, two wheel burnouts are fun.

5) not sure but I would think it would not if installed by a qualified tech

I love mine, good luck.

It is about 2200 cruising along. Not bad I think.

I have a rc 1996

As for rpm, different tire size matters as well.
I run 235X60X16 tires.
