Here is what one of our local members had to say about it:
"Drove 30 miles. The drivability is improved. especially at low rpm, even in 6th gear. Like it has more torque response. The lag is gone. took it up to 7k rpm and it does so faster and smoothly. That lag barrier is gone. It has more spit now. Gas mileage is unchanged. Just runs better"

I'm having it done next week, although i don't notice anything wrong with mine personally... but figure i'll do it anyways.
