No one "technically" answered my question. 40 to 60 quicker or not?
I'd say they did....it "depends" on how you are getting to 40 in the first place. You've been offered a golden opportunity to take a ride in a car with a new TC..If I were you, I'd be all over that offer, as it will tell YOU what you want to know without trying to interpret what everyone else is saying.

Basically yes...

Your TC should give you roughly 20RWHP, so yes you car will be quicker.
If you want some serious torque, change your gears at the same time.
The right combo, can make you scream like a raped date.
Their going to have to pull your gears out at the same time anyhow,
so you can save some money on your install.
Something around 3.73+ would be a definite noticeable change.
