I had one on my '97 Sport V6 and took it off when I bought my '99 V8. I
didn't notice much when it was on the V6 and was hesitant to put it on the
'99. Maybe I was looking for a seat-of-the-pants instead of
sole-of-the-foot type of thing.

Sole-of-the-foot could be good too I suppose. Maybe I'll put it on after
the F&B TB install.
