Default Steve, did you notice any difference with the upgrade? Figured

for $25 I might as well have the the latest and greatest, but did it make any difference whatsoever?

Default Very slight Denny......

Due to my "Bagel Warmer" (that OTTO/AUJ is such a jokester!) airbox system, I can hear the DV a bit more. The difference was very subtle. Most people would not notice any Dif. at all. I did it for the same reason.....Might as well have the latest upgrade. Shape of the Piston is a little different and because of this I thought the characteristics would be more noticeable, but no. Hey, it's only $25 to be on the cutting edge of TTechnology!
