By the looks of the last 3 posts you made today, I'd have to agree!

Sooo...what can you tell me about the Blackwing. What kind of HP improvement can one expect?

Much of a difference in sound?

Define power gain. Do you have actual measured gains or are you just using a seat of the pants feeling? A lot of times people get that placebo effect when adding mods. You expect gains so naturally you feel gains, doesn't mean they really happened, unless you can see measured gains. Plus I don't see how anyone can feel a 10 to 20 hp increase.

Everything I've been reading lately states gains are more likely on the 2001 vers the later years.

It did not just bite you, you are infected and addicted, life will never be the same again. You are now one of the lost people, welcome aboard.
