Some people like to experiment with what they have.

Some people won't touch anything until an authority tells them what to do.

Suit yourself.

All I'm saying is that without any sort of actual scientific proof that something works it's all just a guess. "Geeze I put that K&N filter in and I bet I gained 20 hp! And it must be true cause the internet says so and I bet if I put a Superbird spoiler on it'll give me an extra hundred pounds of downforce," I like to experiment too, but in no way do I fool myself into thinking what I do has any sort of effect unless I see proof. I only write this because an authority made me do it lol.
