I am quite happy with the gains... it wasnt the final product =)
just a inbetween shot... they are a lil more smooth.. and I say I may have
gained .1 with it.. (not too sure.. everything is so different.. it seems
like the exaust is different sounding (had 3 ppl notice it w/o me say
anything) and lots peppier in the 1.5-2.0K range, and 3.8k+ range...
weird... =)
I like it... I also put them new plugs in (Bosch Plat's) which gave me that
1.5-2.0k boost... (weird) and got my MSD wires on today... so.. anyways...
it wasnt the final product... cant complain for $6 for machine work.... =-)
