Example: going from 10% throttle in cruising to 70% throttle, the car will feel snappier in response vs the old restrictive filter. You'll also need to do this when holding a gear at an RPM, say 4000k. The automatic transmission shifts too early during normal driving conditions to let the driver feel much of a difference after the minor gain in HP. The gain in HP in WOT is not too much either because of the % gain in HP is so small in relation to how much the car have already. a 3 HP gain on a 150 hp car is a lot in ration vs a 3 HP gain in a 555 HP beast  . But extra HP is extra HP. I'll take it any way I can  |
that is correct.. and great post op, thanks for the info!
