yes... some say about 5 hp. its lighter and frees up your rotating mass.

on the late bory ones you can. it took me about 30 minutes because all I have was a little olde 9 inch long key and had to tap away with a hammer......

took me 30 minutes to install mine... including the time to jack it up, and 5 min wait time for the rust eater to 'eat away' at the bolts on the stock driveshaft | u-joint connector.

yes, its worth it very much so.... rotational mass is the best weight reduction. and its balanced much better, so there's less vibration at higher speeds.
