D-Like 10/40T CS Gear Set for project CS Driftmaster

On my last Arai session back in late Jan, I got project CS Driftmaster to handle pretty well with the D-Like 7deg. Caster blocks & 11T Gear and billet ring gear spacer. The way I calculate it, it works out to a Front to Back Gear 1.55 ratio. (see set up at CSJunkies.com) Grip was very good, but CS could be better.

This being said, I finally decided to try out the new D-Like billet Alum. 10/40 CS gear set. This thing is massive! The thick ring gear seems like it will be like a heavy flywheel for the front 1-way. With this set up it works out to be a 1.70 (which I am guessing 1.6-1.7 is ideal for CS)
I am hoping to really improve the drift angle with this.

Here is it installed...

So far it seems pretty good. For sure the back is looser, but just driving it around the garage it seems like it could be very good when tuned up. I can't wait to try it out at Arai, but well have to see when I can make it overthere again. (since I now live about 1.5hr away)

Here is the previous gear set and what the gears look like before they are installed.
