Did you use the "how-to" insturctions, or did you do it by ear? What exactly did you do to the Y, because alot of people "optimize" theirs, but do it different ways. Just curious as to what exactly you did. Glad it worked out for ya.

I did mine the other day also. I wouldn't do it again though. I didn't notice a huge increase, but I agree there was a slight increase. Mine was probably less noticable then yours since I pull much harder up top anyway.

The Duratec growl definately seems to get an extra set of teeth after this mod.

I pretty much followed the instructions exactly,it's just a bit time consuming is all,but well worth it !
