Absolutely! A thousand miles minimum.
The contact patch is on the order of 300% or more than stock. Crowned and banking straightaways require a presence of mind. However, finding the sweat spot only takes a moment of fully aware status. The degree of increased confidence in not breaking traction and the ability to put all that power into motion is ultra magnified with all that ground patch. And at a small fraction of the cost that dogma will lead you.
Economics lead me, primarily, to the darkside but tha grins are never ending after you've been here for awhile. Now if you're repeatedly carving corners daily it's not for you!.
