It gets the job done pretty well on small displacement motors... but it produces FAR from the flattest curves in production.
1 - yea we are talking about 4 cylinders not a dodge hemi and not a 350z
2 - if u admit it feels pretty impressive, but contend that its not as much as it feels...
then u obviously havent driven a high performance h22.
the changeover is nothing less than an abrupt boost of acceleration.
3 - tell you what, when your stock 350 uses technology designed after 1970 then we can talk
