That being said, if you are not using enough of the power band, especially in high gear, to use the new found power at the higher RPM you are not really going to see much of a gain from it.
geeez maybe i shouldve been a lil more specific then. i didnt mean he would physically lose hp or tq. bahhh i shouldve just said wat u said in the first place lol
