My mate and I put this into my car yesterday ... He is not mechanically minded at all and I can name engine parts but thats as far as it goes... his first words were "how can this 12mm piece of wood make your car better?" and at that point to be honest I had no idea and was hoping it wasnt going to be a dissapointment.
After 30 mins of following the very clear instructions on the website (most of which was being super careful with the gasket goo) It was in...
The wait for the goo to dry was a killer... I was dying to see if it made a difference...
I hopped into the car after an hour with my mate and drove off... got onto a highway... going around 40kph I planted and the auto responded with 1st gear... it felt like a bit more power but I was a little saddened and thought oh well maybe this was a waste...
I pulled up to the lights shortly after... this is where my mate was chanting i told you so bla bla bla..
light turned green I almost put a hole in the firewall with the stomp on the pedal...
It launched almost immediately (unlike previous ecotec lag) and roared... it was as if it was pulling between 4-5k through the entire rev range...
I cant get over the difference in lower revs... I admit that higher revs are somewhat similar to standard but the fact that it spends less time between 2-4k provides much quicker overall accelleration.
Thanks to steve for all your help
