waste of money imo but everyone is different mate just hope you didnt loose too much money on it :(

Yeah, dont really think it gives much of a power gain(A little), but more that it evenly distributes the power across the Rev Range. You lose the 'kick' But you'll get used to it after a while. When I first did mine, I thought it was Naf, but now thinking back it definetly makes an improvement and really does pull harder between 3 - 4k.

I would be interested to see a before and after rolling road but its perfectly fesable that it has actually lost you power.

didt kno whether it was just me, but not havin the kick at 5k has made it feel slower, imo
