basically it shortens the gearing and allows your engine to be in the power band...longer gear ratios will take longer for your engine RPMs to rise...and when you shift gears, it falls back down further...aftermarket final drive gears modify this and keeps your engine from not falling out of the power band when shifting gears...and also allows it to rise quicker
a competent mechanic should be able to install it for $200-$300
