No actual dyno numbers, but fit and finish is less than desirable. I'm thinking about trying out a different setup...

We did a test at the track. We made two passes without it and two passes with it.

I don't remember the exact #'s,but we did see a very slight improvement after the 1/8th mile, a gain of about 1/2mph.

So if you think it's worth it to gain that much(or little), go for it.
