Yes.. i just did some fourm searching... makes me a bit skeptical( power loss, stuff like that), i dont mind making a heatsink (garbage can) or w/e but, i dont want to waste time and money putting this stuff on.. ya know? will it be worth it in the end? i dont expect to get 20hp or anything like that but maybe a mpg or 2 and maybe a horsie or 2?

It does, however, provide a bit of improvement to throttle response: optimize the TB too to make it more pronounced. And it sounds frickin' awesome. -Philip Maynard '95 Contour [71 STS \| Track Whore] '97 Miata [71 ES \| Boulevard Pimp] 2006 autocross results
