Okay, so aren't we modding our cars to make them faster? So if you loose some HP but you're leaving the line faster and accelerating quicker then aren't you accomplishing your primary goal?

I think if you're tuning to get the best time on the track this consideration is outstanding, but for guys like me who don't go to the track but just want a more fun car this would be perfect.

Now if you put it on and the car felt slower than before....I would never buy one just cuz it's big....but if people have had a 57mm and go to a 60mm and it put a huge smile on their face, then I'm all for buying one!
