First of all, anyone who says "a mere 6hp" just doesn't get it.
Secondly, the body of tests out there that show consistent, repeatable gains is considerably large, and I would say, significant. It's not always 6 hp, since it really depends on the engine, and of course the best gains come when the whole drivetrain is converted. But, geez.
Somebody said synth is "overkill." I suppose that's true for some, and dino is fine for most drivers. But I'm a devoted convert.
