Happy to help. Definitely not a must, it's just "icing on the cake" the biggest difference I noticed was with idle quality and startups, super smooth now without that mild yet noticable mechanical grinding sensation for the first split second and the little bump in mpg. It honestly feels a bit faster but that's probably just the placebo effect lol. The mpg Numbers don't lie though, I average 700-1000 miles a week often on the exact same roads with long stretches (100+ miles) without stopping and it's something I noticed right away. I average 19.8mpg overall (60/40 split city/hwy)and I usually cruise at 90+ (it's AZ, people drive 80 in the slow lane cause the heat down her does things to ya....)
