really depends on what you want, like and want to do

yes, a foc makes a pretty big difference
in how the truck preforms

but you lose reverse

racers want foc for the gains it gives

lazy people like me like reverse because, well, i'm lazy

if you just bash then it's a toss up and totally your preference

FOC is the only way to go! Do you know how much rotating mass you are removing, I''ll tell you a LOT. Get that very heavy clutch bell out of your tranny! Its so heavy that if you were to drop it on your bare foot it would hurt!

you don''t need "shift bells" with the foc

that''s kinda the whole point

no more shifting...

the foc will come with everything you need
just follow the instructions
